I got these lights off of a JK in the junkyard, they are wired by the manufacturer to use a fob for on/off. I cant find any identifiers on them at all. I would like to contact the manufacturer to obtain a fob so as to avoid chopping up the harness. Does anybody recognize these?
Thanks,

here is one off amazon for $18. it looks like it would be pretty easy to pop the back off the one you have and rewire to a new controller like this. or buy it, try the fob and see if it works with the unit you already have and if so, youre good and if not, just rewire it

Wow, never seen that. I'm definitely adding that into my trailer build.

i didnt know either until i met an OB member last month camping in north georgia. he had leds under his jeep with RTT so when he returns to camp and its dark, he clicks the fob and under the jeep is now lit up so he can see if there are any snakes or critters underneath before walking around it. my wife saw a facebook post yesterday where people were camping in a small trailer and a woman stepped out at night to go to the bathroom and stepped on a rattler and got bit. having lights that you can turn on remotely like that is a great idea. im actually incorporating that right now on a camper shell build out im doing.

Have been looking at the key fob relay boxes for a bit as well to control perimeter lighting on a roof rack.

Or you could buy a relay board that operates off of bluetooth from your phone.

There are several kits from Oracle, amongst others that are undercarriage mounts with RGB/unlimited color options but more important, they run off a Bluetooth app on your phone. I could care less if they are the right hue of green, red or purple, but having them on BT is a nice option:
