Are these for motorcycles or trucks? Is the switch waterproof?

I actually made up a second wiring harness and brackets and switch these lights between the 4wd and the motorbike for long trips, they are small in physical size but have a nice light output.switch isnt waterproof.

This is the Auto version, with a dash mounted non waterproof switch. The powersports version has the waterproof switch and a better insulated harness with a built in relay.

They can be used on any vehicle and the switch is waterproof. I've had them on my motorcycle for a couple years with zero issues. Great lights.

They would fit on a truck, but you could definitely put something bigger on a truck. They fit perfectly on a motorcycle and are a nice extra to the OEM lights. The switch is totally waterproof. It's a round switch. You have to drill a hole about 7/8" in diameter through the panel or a fixed plate. The switch remains exterior and the wires are under the panel.

Frank, no the switch is not waterproof, there's approximately an inch opening on the back between the feet and the back of the unit (this is where the battery cables connect into the switch). The Battery cable connections would be exposed to the elements. The switch will work mounted outside, but I'd suggest putting a coating over the exposed battery cable wire/connection nut.

the truck is waterproof however the speed controller is NOT waterproof. I've actually ran into this problem.I was just running through puddles and I short circuited my speed controller.

I have not tried mine outside. I think the battery compartment might stay dry but I don't know if the switch would hold up. They don't seem waterproof to me.

They will work for low voltage applications. Being outdoors they have to be enclosed in the waterproof box or fixture as they themselves are not waterproof. I used them for few months and love them. No more exposed wires while changing fixtures or ballasts. Make sure to rise the locking arms compete 90 degrees as it's kind of a hard push and not intuitive that it's so hard.

I installed this on my two trucks. I've been using power washer to clean the engine and the compartment and I have not encountered any problem. I'll say it is water proof.

My understanding is that the internal part of the switch is waterproof. I have mine exposed to the weather, and so far no problems. Hope this helps.

The switch itself is to large for a motorcycle battery. I know it would not fit any of the motorcycles I own.

I would not think this is waterproof. It can probably handle a little mist. I have one on a batterybox i built. The switch is as solid as any type of switch this size is. It doesn't feel like it would take a hard blow and stay intact.

I'm a diver. This is NOT a dive light. Might survive a quick drop in a puddle, but no way I would take it diving. My interpretation of the description is that the SWITCH is waterproof. The light does not appear sealed enough to be waterproof.

Absolutely not, it is a cheap switch and won't stand up to any weather. Buy one that says Marine Grade.

I mounted the compressor on the driver side firewall just behind the electric center box and fished the wiring through the firewall next to a rubber access plug for a well protected opening into the cab. The switch is then mounted on the underside of the dash frame work and is reachable from the drivers seat position. I don't believe the switch is waterproof.

I've not actually used the switch but I wouldn't trust it for that purpose. Dirt could get inside it and the switch itself doesn't appear to be waterproof.

The switch is not waterproof. I guess you could try to find a waterproofing cover or improvise with a flexible membrane. Make sure the heater elements (and all connectors) are protected from the moisture as well.

Yes, toggle switch with water resistance rubber cap. Works fine, feels solid and durable enough.

Yes as long as you solder the wires to the terminals on the back of the switch and slide some heat shrink over the wires and shrink it down, you should be waterproof at that point

Although it says outdoor, I take that to mean wider temperature and humidity range. I put my switch under my deck protected from rain or water. If you take a look at the switch, it has no rubber gasket sealings or covers so I would not assume to allow any water near those plugs IMHO.
