Default Lets See Those Toggle Switches & Custom Dashboards

I just ordered 4 KC lights for the front bumper. I am trying to decide on the best location to mount 2 toggle switches, possibly 3 if I end up ordering more lights. So let see everyones setup for there toggle swiches!

I'm specifically interested in seeing what folks are using that don't have a flow through console.

The reason being it is easy to toggle on and off when driving, and it is the smallest piece of plastic to replace if i have to go back to stock.

Here's mine. Made by a company called (wired hdh). Not cheap but not cheaply made either. It's like the raptor switches where you can just plug accessories directly in. However, the package comes with like 300 little stickers that you can put on to know what switch you are pressing. They will even custom make stickers for you. This is better than a raptor switch though because you can program the buttons to constant on, or constant off, or a pressure switch like I use for my train horns mounted under my hood. It's as wide as a dollar bill and as thick as a credit card...Super easy install too...

Went with these. Covered up the useless black hole in the dash and mounted these. They control 4 Lightforce fogs, RI hood lights and Ri 30 inch lightbar

Got a piece of black textured plastic from Scoshe for $5. They sell it at any electronics place. It's for stereo installation. Cut it out and plats welded it to the backside to fill that stupid hole in the dash. Then just cut out my switches with a dremmel and there you go. The black stereo plastic is the same texture as OEM. That's why they make it so it looks factory
