To be able to switch it off so I can just use the van's own high beams.
My van had an LED light bar chopped into the lower grille when I bought it. It was relayed to the high beam under the bonnet with a feed from the battery.
I didn't like it at all as it looked like a motorway maintenance van (no offence if you are Motorway Maintenance) and was pretty crap from a lights point of view.
So it went in the bin and a new grille fitted along with H7 headlights in place of the H4 candles.
No complaints with H7 on low or high beam, one of the best upgrades I have done to the van.

I can't think of any situation where I wouldn't want maximum light on main beam.
To revive this thread, my current T6 has auxiliary led bar mounted above the reg plate. Gets power from a relay thats connected to the main battery. The relay gets its feed from the LED headlights, headlight connector pin 11. When you pull out the connector from the headlight you see the connector has numbers around it to identify which wire is which. Theres a steady 12 volt power for the feed so no need for canbus modules or current detecting relays.

Does anyone have photos of the switch they installed for their spotlights? I am going to get a small LED light bar installed on a number plate on my VWt6.1 and am hoping my electrician will be able to get the wiring into the cabin for a switch - I cannot find info on how to get a real switch for one of the many blanks I have on my dashboard so am looking for the least ugly alternative ..I couldn't find anything for T6.1 at the van life stores
T6.1 dashboard switch buttons
Hi All New to this Forum, Currently drive a T5 Sport Line and have purchased a T6.1 which is currently in the process of being built. I'm after a bit of help with some missing buttons and advice on what I can replace: I have three blanks on the right hand cluster (see photo) that I would...
Thank you
I fitted a rocker switch for my light bar in the blank on top of the dashboard that would have a 12v socket in some models. It has a small red led that let's me know my light bar is on, when I dip my lights from high beam the light bar goes off also as required by Australian standards.
It looks neat in real life but in photos looks bigger than it is.

Finally got a light fitted with a simple switch installed per Road Vision LED light bar T6.1 - LiteKamper
I mounted a little rocker switch into a piece of rubber that I could wedge into one of the spare dash switches. Not perfect but quite sturdy and unobtrusive enough. It illuminates when on and is in easy reach if I want to switch it off and just use the normal high beam. Keeps it legal in Oz too.
