Default Auxiliary switch panel????

I have an 2014 XLT, I am wanting to put a switch panel in the cab and I cannot find any OEM or anything close to OEM for the cab. I am wondering if there is an panel that I can add instead of cutting the existing panels. I know this is a long shot but I don't want to damage any panels by cutting them to fit an aftermarket switch panel in. Or I am looking for possibly just a switch that has an adhesive backing that I can hide and just stick somewhere.


Also I am installing LED light strips in my truck bed for light, I was wondering if it is possible to wire them to the dimmer switch that way they come on when I turn the cab and cargo lights on.

thanks for any help

There are several recent post/threads about auxilliary switch installation in the Late Model F150s > 2009 - Present Ford F150 forum ...

The only OEM you gonna get is SVT raptor upfitter switches in the center console in front of the shifter.

.... Xlt's don't have a run through arm rest console. You would be better off ordering the superduty version and "fitting" it in the useless hole on the front passenger side dash. It's been done.

Good to know. I've done extensive research and missed it I guess. I'm adding lights and wanted to be OEM as possible.

I would also like proof of this being done, buddy has a XLT.

Well hells-bells ... Install it in the overhead sunglass bin, install it in the RH cubby-hole, install it in the glove box, install it under the dash, install it ????? wherever.

There are examples for all of the above (and more). So much for your "...extensive research ...", eh?
