Does anyone know the pin configuration for the "Off Road Switch"? I wired it up like the AUX Light switch pin config, but it works backwards?

Hey, I was about to do the same mod on my FJ.... Did you use the switch harness that is for the auxiliary lights with that roof light switch??? I have bought that same roof light switch, and I bought the auxiliary switch harness (as well as relay)... But when I received them, I noticed the roof light switch is 5 pin, and the auxiliary switch harness is 6 pin, so I was wondering if it would work correctly....
Thanks for your time and your help. I have been trying to figure out how to turn the OEM AUX lights at will and without the highbeams.You may be correct if using Toyota's approach. I did not want to be constrained by Toyota's desire only to have the lights on when my hi beams were on. In order to do this, I bought the Toyota harnesses and cut the end off that didnt mate to the switch and wired it to my own relays, ground, and power source. Now I control what happens when. If you are using Toyotas wiring you shouldnt have to worry just plug and play.
I responded to your PM, but if you guys still have questions, you can email me at cjmartin@dmbfans.net.

A few questions. First does the illumination bar on the switch (the green bar) light when the lights come on and go off when the lights are off if the highbeams are off? Does the switch backlighting work (meaning when the other switches like ATRAC, Parking are backlit is this one too?)?Thanks for your time and your help. I have been trying to figure out how to turn the OEM AUX lights at will and without the highbeams.
Test:
I cut the wire in pin 4 location between the diode and the switch and then hooked it up to a direct 12v source.
Outcome:
Lights turn on and off by the switch at will BUT when I turn on the highbeams then the Aux light turns off.
Problem: Adding the 12v source to pin4 should have eliminated the headlamps from the circuit?
Thanks,
I see.. You are saying pin 3 is the power and not pin 4? I have the 12v going to pin4 and it turns on the Aux lights on demand except when the high brights are on. So maybe in my current configuration I am creating a short that is allowing the pin 3 to act as my relay instead of pin 4 since I snipped that wire from the factory harness?In the case you are trying to "rewire" the AUX lights to work different than Toyota's intent, here is an excerpt from a different post of mine: In your case if you want the lights to work on demand, you will run constant 12V to pin 3 rather than a headlamp/marker tap. Just dont forget to turn them off
SWITCH
Pin 1: Illumination Power for "Lights On" indicator light
Pin 2: Ground for Illumination circuit
Pin 3: Switch Power (taken from Marker Lamp Tap)
Pin 4: Line Out to Relay
Pin 5: Ground for Backlit Illumination Circuit
Pin 6: Illumination Power for Backlight
