So I just added MicTuning C2 rocklights under my truck and I didn't want to drill a hole on a panel in the interior of the truck. So I purchased a eMylo DC 12V 1 Channel 433Mhz RF Wireless Relay Remote Control Momentary Light Switch Self-lock Transmitter with Receiver for Home Use

one of the 2 remotes included and the rock light it controls
they're rated at 10a, so you could wire them directly to anything under 120w's anything higher and they should be run to control a larger relay. if you buy a big light bar, it will likely already have a relay for that purpose. what this does is replaces the manual switch with a remote control.
Here it is all wired up. since the switch i replaced was illuminated it already had a dedicated ground wire (yellow) if you don't have an illuminated switch the yellow wire will have to be connected to ground.
from right to left the connections are:
#1 normally closed - power flows from common to NC constantly until the controller is energized (on) typically you don't use this
#2 common -this is the input power for the switch (this is jumpered to #5)
#3 Normally open - this is where you wire the output power going to the lights/relay
#4 ground - this is the ground wire that allows the controller to work all the time
#5 12vDC input - this is the power that runs the controller, I've jumpered it to the relay on #2 but you can run them independently.
The nice thing is this controller is already programmed to be "latching" which means one push of the button will turn it on and it will stay on until the button is pushed again, you can change this to momentary on the eMylo and an application where that would be good is for a train horn setup.
SO this is all pretty straight forward and simple to do, but there's that last part where you have to get the homelink buttons programmed.
in the manual it tells you how to do this. it also tells you that a message with scroll across your instrument panel, but on my 2019 Laramie, it did not. so here's what i did.
#1 hold down 1&3 for 20 seconds, it should blink really fast keep holding that's not 20 seconds, it will change to a slow blink/solid. this clears all the programs, if you already have one of the buttons programmed to your garage door you DO NOT have to do this, you might not either way.
#2 press and hold the button you want to program, it will again blink really fast (strobe), then it will slow down to a normal blink KEEP HOLDING the button on the car and press and hold the button on the eMylo remote. HOLD BOTH until the light on the truck goes solid. it should be programmed.
you shouldn't have to do anything with the eMylo controller programming as long as you don't want to change it to momentary.
other things to keep in mind is that it is not waterproof so I've placed mine in the truck and hid it under the dash. you can also buy a waterproof junction box for it, below is an example of one of those.

Well that's it, I hope this will save a dash or two from the drill.
