Default Off road LED light switches - where did you mount?

Hey guys,

I am going to be mounting some led light bar squares and not sure where to mount the switch to turn them on/off. Any ideas? Pics would be appreciated!

Also, if anyone has installed the rigid industries dually's in the intercooler vent pics on how you mounted would be awesome! I have a pair of led bars that look identical to those.

I modified my lights wiring slightly and hooked them up to some Fastronix switches near the headlight controls...

I mounted mine next to the dimmer switch for my backup lights. However even though the spot has plenty of room for multiple switches the way the piece clips into the dash will only allow one switch there. So with the addition of a light bar I'm going to end up needing to relocate my switches as well.

Don't know what switches you're going with but check out OTRATTW. OTRATTW also has "switch panels" for 3 or 6 switches. I've seen people use them to clean up the install of multiple switches. I couldn't find them on their website though.

I've seen some pictures of custom panels made to fit in the cubby below the radio (If you have the flow-through console) Doesn't seem hard to do, and it looks like it'll easy to flush mount it. Added bonus too, if you ever want to remove it, the rubber tray will cover up any holes you have to drill to run the wiring. I'll be making one out of lexan to lay down 4 switches within the coming weeks, I'll post some pictures then.

Also, here's the switch mounts mentioned above:

Page 1 has the 3 slot one.

Nice! I don't have the flow through console but I do have a sync compartment below the radio that has a cover to shut if I don't want anything visible. That might be my switch spot but I need to check the space available in there first.

Action Jack: I really like your switches. I'm getting ready to lift my rig and, while doing so, I want to also install some KC slimlites. Does your style of switch come in a single?
