several options to wire light bar for modular bumper looking for feedback

[Azhrei]

here goes...
I have my modular bumper installed along with the upfitter switches and new driving/fog lights running on original switch but only one hot wire needed, so there is a spare one.
here's where I'm questioning which way to go.

the light bar I purchased has 3 options accent light, regular driving light and an offroad light.

the main wires red and black power the regular light
the gray wire, is the accent light works with out the red wire above
and the blue wire, is the off road light needs the red wire to work

my initial thought was to wire the regular light up to the left over hot wire from the original fog/driving lights and then the accent and offroad to the new switches.

then I was thinking using the accent light with the original wiring and the other 2 to the switches since I'm not dependent on the red/hot wire to power it.

hopefully I explained that well enough to follow

any feedback is welcome

thanks

Not sure exactly how it looks, but what I would consider:

Black probably goes to ground someplace.

Driving light to factory switch (red wire)
Offroad light to upfitter/aux (blue wire)
Accent to fused add-a-tap always on (gray wire)

That would require your road lights to be on when you want to turn on the offroad light.

Alternatively, if you want to get creative with diodes:

You could throw a diode in on the factory switch, then take the cathode end of the diode to the red wire. Wire your upfitter straight to the Blue wire. Then make a Cross-Connecting wire with a diode in it, connect your Upfitter/Blue wire to the anode, and the red wire to the cathode.

Now your road light comes on only with factory switch, and your upfitter can turn on both road and offroad regardless of position of factory switch

(I don't recommend doing this unless you know a bit about electronics/electricity, I am not going to find parts or tell any more about diodes. This is at your own risk)

When you mention "accent light". I assume you refer to a "Backlit" feature.
You can wire this feature to engage when you turn on the ignition to start your Bronco.
Or wire it to a dedicated Aux Switch. I opted to wire my Backlit lights to its own dedicated Aux Switch.

Modular Bumper Lights (All 3 Backlit):
SS3 Max - White Combo 7,900 (Aux 2 – Inside placement)
SS3 Pro Yellow SAE Fog 2,700 (Aux 3 – Center Placement)
SSC2 Pro - White SAE Fog 1,988 (Aux 4 – Outside Placement)
TTL Measured Lumens 12,588

Ditch Light:
SS3 Pro (+ Backlit) 3000 (Aux 1)
w/KR Off road Bracket

(All DD’s above are Backlit – (wired to Aux 5)
Back Up lights:
Back Up Lights (Amazon – SSC2 knock offs /Aux 6)

If you decide to share an AUX switch with more than one type of light, make sure to use the correct AUX switch based on required AMPs (either Aux 1 or 2):
