Default Accessory Switch ideas

I have seen several posts about ways users have mounted switches and have seen several impressive and clean installs, however I can't bring myself to out holes in the dash just yet.

Has anyone ever tried to use the edge dash pod and mount some of the OTRATTW switches in it? Or has anyone thought to do this? I'm considering doing this, but I'm not sure if the switches will fit in the pod depth wise or will the back of the switch hit the dash or pod.

TL;DR: Switches in edge dash pod?

Might be a good fit for the super duty up fitter switches with panel.

That's a pretty decent idea there. I might look into that one

I did it and there is very little room for the wire connectors, but it works!

Dang that looks good and is exactly what I wanted to do. How did you run the wires into the dash

Out the side of the edge pod, there is a small hole already for the edge tuner cord to go through. Then into the door seal and ran it down

Wasn't the wiring pretty entailed to install them iirc? If you're doing up fitters I'd mount them the same as the raptor. I miss the factory up fitters. Wish they came factory in the f150s.

I did an otrattw switch for my light bar. Looks pretty good.

I think whenever I get enough accessories to warrant having multiple switches I am going to get some of them. And I'll probably wire them so that the symbol will be on if the accessory is on and the words will be on if the lights are on

For the price of them, it's hard not to have them for the cool factor lol
