How have you added auxiliary switches and where have mounted them on your TC series tractor?

Nice
So you have a separate switch for your strobe lights it looks like.
I was thinking about having the factory hazard light switch trigger a relay for strobe lights. I was thinking anytime I had the hazards on I would want the strobes too.
Is the a pro or con for either way?
Also, where did you get the switches?

@dieselscout80 -
Yes I have the strobe wired to there own switch, I wanted to control them separately. There are times when we use the hazards & don't want the strobes on. If we are working at the end of the driveway & just park the tractor there, while doing work off the tractor, I usually just run the hazards as the strobes can be a little annoying on the eyes while working off the tractor for a while, but I like the flashers on...
I also don't run the strobes all the time when doing snow removal in the driveway when it is dark out (unless I'm down by the road), they can be pretty annoying bouncing off the snow.
Wiring it the way you mentioned will work fine as long as you are ok not controlling them separately... it really just comes down to your preference & how you want then to operate.
The switches I ordered from OTRATTW Switch Guys - I been using them for year for off-road, marine or an other project that I'm using Carling switches on. If my memory serves me correctly the Contura X series matched the NH switches in our TC40D, but double check that.
