    Hey guys,

    So I'm looking for a "style" of switch for my ditch lights, but don't know what the name would be.

    My current Diode Dynamics Ditch Lights came with a circular switch that I want to change, and it has 3 positions. Neutral is off, up is like a faint Amber, and down is bright white.

    Is there a special rocker switch that I need to maintain all 3 positions? What do I search for online?

    Thanks!

    I searched the forums and seen the few bad choices available. I find it shocking that nobody makes a decent 3 position ditch light switch, and also that DD made their stock switch small and circular.

    Look for a Carling Contura nav/anchor switch. You can put whatever rocker cover you want on the switch body.
