I used the left knee panel to mount my brake controller and fog light switch. I figured that I could easily and economically replace that panel if I were to sell the truck (not likely). I will see if I can get a picture later this morning. Also makes it easier to reach to manually apply (trailer sway) or adjust on the move.

Here is where mine is mounted. It might even be the place where the Factory Ford one mounts. There's a metal tab behind the dash at your left knee.
