Default Where to install a switch?

I have a 2015 XLT w/ the 302a package. Trying to decide where to install the switch for the LED light bar on a bull bar. There doesn't appear to be a blank panel anywhere on the dash. If you added a light bar, where did you install the switch in the cabin? Could you post a pic?

Thanks.

I'd either hide it behind one of the little popout doors, or people have been putting the switch right into the dash panel to the left of the steering wheel, below the cluster. Lots and lots of threads about it on here.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried running a search first in this forum and didn't find anything. I"ll try again I guess.

This is where I put my plow light switch. It's stuck on with double sided tape and the wires just go under the hush panel. No drilling needed.

Switch lights up blue led to match factory blue also. Its a 2 led switch also, I have it wired so the lettering comes on with the dash lights at night and the top part lights when the lights are turned on. You can cut out that area for a switch, be careful there is a brace to the left of it you must miss.

Does it have a tbc? Make a panel to fill the space- add your switches.
