This is exactly the setup I was looking for. Can you give some more information regarding installation and wire routing?

I'm glad some one started this thread cause I wanted to see where people put them at too. I need some eventually when I get some Rigids.

Great idea using the "black hole" for switches. I'm surprised that F150s don't have an easy option for upfitters. I guess that's how Ford sells all those Super Duty trucks

I just used a plain old black rocker switch for my leds. Theres space for about 3-4 more switches (depends how cramped you want it to be) all you do is take out that black cubby hole and you have full access to run wires and drill holes for switches. Pretty simple. Dont mind the messy floor and the tangled wires

bump for any wiring advice on the 'toothpick holder' location. I'm kind of new to wiring and a little hesitant to do this
