I am doing my install now and trying to figure out where to wire using busbar for ground and another for switches to but not much space.
I put a busbar for grounding accessories to the Saltek mount that is under the hood. The (+) leads to the accessories go to the switch-pros wire harness. Switch-pros box must be grounded to the battery under the front seat. I drilled two holes in the bracket, installed stainless steel rivnuts to attach the busbar. That made adding accessories to the switch-pros easy and made for a clean looking installation.

I used the following distribution block from Amazon:
12 Terminal Distribution Block -BUSBAR- with Ring Terminals

I thought about putting the + busbar there as pictured below. However may go with your way as it makes more sense for safety reasons as well!

Thank you

Can the switch pro be dimmed quite a bit? Another concern I have is that if it’s too bright it will bother me. Can the lights be turned all the way off if desired in the app or via a shortcut, such as when the vehicle is in stealth mode on a dark road?

Yes both through the app and shortcuts! I opted not to run white wire bc it's so simple to dim down if you wanted to!

Thanks for the info! What is the white wire if you don’t mind my asking? Does it make the panel dim with the vehicle’s auto dimmer or something?

The white wire is the light input for dimming when you turn on your lights, I connected mine to the passenger marking light in the wheel well.

The following is from the instruction manual:

LIGHTS Input/T2, White wire. Turns on switch panel backlighting to user set level. Trigger 2 input if enabled. Connect this wire to a parking light signal or a side marker light signal. Use a T-tap to make the connection or solder and seal. This wire is used to dim the switch panel backlighting for night time lighting. The backlighting and switch indicator led brightness intensity is set by pressing the programming switch (located behind the SWITCH-PRO logo) on the switch panel 3 times. Switches 1 and 2 adjust the led switch indicator brightness and switches 7 and 8 adjust the backlighting intensity. Once the intensities are set, press the program switch again to exit. When used as a trigger signal, it can turn on up to 4 outputs with Active High or Active Low signal. On Side by Side UTV vehicles, like Razors and CanAm’s, that do not have parking lights, connect the White “Lights” wire to the Lt. Blue “Ignition” wire. Then connect both to an 12V ignition or accessory source.
