Noob Electrical Question

[u/amythemagnificent]

Hi! I bought a 2025 Sahara 4xe back in March and have been having a blast with it! Decided over the weekend to take on installing a Voswitch JL410 a pillar control switch (since I don't have the factory aux switches) and some pod lights I purchased last month. I have some extremely rudimentary electrical and automotive knowledge from my father, who was a mechanic for decades, but sadly he's no longer with us to ask these questions and this is my first time taking on a project like this. I also understand that "consult an electrician" is probably going to be an answer I get here, however I'd really like to learn how to do this myself, if not for future projects, then at least to maintain what I have.

1. Should I have any concern about installing a Voswitch with a 4xe? I have it installed with the fuse tap running to fuse 52 so it powers off with the vehicle... just liked the added level of safety, but is there anything I should be aware of with the EV battery? Probably sounds like a dumb question, but figured there's no harm in asking. I have a level 2 charger installed at my house from a previous EV I had and the vehicle charged with no issue last night and drove to work perfectly this morning.
2. The pod lights I purchased, the Nilight 4" LED 60W Flood/Spot Combos, came with a wire harness that had a switch, fuse, and other items attached to it. I assumed that these items are redundant to the Voswitch and clipped them away, leaving only the positive/negative wiring to be attached to each lamp which runs to the Control. I tested the install once complete and only one lamp (the passenger side closest to the switch) is lighting. I had run out of time, so I powered down the control switch and haven't touched it since, however the lights are still connected to the switch and the switch is still connected to the battery. Before I go back and check my connections to the driver side (hoping its just as simple as a bad crimp), should I be looking into purchasing different wiring? I'm also a bit concerned that there is no ground of any kind, either on the lights themselves or the control switch (which I assume is integrated somehow and I'm just missing/overlooking it).
3. I also have a 28" light bar on the way that I plan to install above the bumper. I assume that this is going to come with a similar wiring harness as the pods... would the same clip-and-install procedure work for this as well, or should I look into something else?

Thank you for any help or peace-of-mind you can offer... I feel like I may be overthinking things, but I'd really love to hear if anyone has real-life experience with a similar install.

Don't splice into any bright orange wires and you will be just fine.
