Default Dingo build lights and winch questions.

Hey guys.
Im building a dingo and I would like to include lights and a winch.

Set up.
Flysky gt3b 3 channel with flysky receiver.
Im looking to add a bulldog 9300xt winch.
Im guessing I use another smaller battery to power the winch and use it on my 3rd channel.

But as for my lights. How could i wire these so that they are not constantly on? Im not looking for indicator or break lights. Just being able to turn them off and on would be fine. Id love to do this via my flysky...but thats not going to happen with only 3 channels im guessing.

Lighting
Id like to add a light bar
and front and rear head and tail lights. There are so many to choose from I dont know where to start looking for lights and light buckets.

Thanks for your help.

Unless you do the firmware mod to your GT3B, your third channel will be only two positions, so to run a winch, you could use something like this:
Winch Controller for Radio with 2 Position Third Channel

To operate your lights from a channel on your remote, this will get you going:
Remote Switch For LED Lighting

Check here if you want to mod the firmware in your transmitter to have up to 8 channels:

You'll want the hack on the radio and the light/winch controller that HeyOK makes. I'd check out some different lights though because I picked up an Integy light bar similar to that and it lights up, but not very bright at all. I was running it off the BEC at 5v but I think Integy sets it up for 12v power.
