hide rocker switches 2013 f150 xlt
I'm trying to hide rocker switches for my lights and sirens... I'm stuck! I can't find a good place to put them without looking extremely Un professional. Anyone have any ideas or have done this previously? I need room for about 5 switches. Thanks!

Hide them from what? view? Kids? how far out of the way do you want to reach for them? I could suggest a couple places, look under the dash to the left and right of the steering wheel. I am sure you could make a bracket to mount them where they are within reach and not seen but just about flush with the bottom edge of the dash,, of course there is always inside and above the glove box, if you pull it down you will see plenty of room and place to make a bracket so that when you open the glove box you can't see them but put you hand in there and they would be level with the top of the glove box opening! or how about in the middle of the seat? again you could mount a bracket to the seat frame and have them flush with the bottom of the seat. The under dash and glove box would be easier as you wouldn't have to run wires under the carpet.

I have the fold down seat so no center console. I need them within reach while driving to toggle on off manual horn etc... (firefighter) I'm a tall guy and my theory is if I mount them under steering wheel I will constantly hit them getting in and out!
As a side note not really "hidden" from view, more factory looking is I guess what I'm going for. Thanks!

If you have the center fold down seat, that means you have that little "cubby" way down low in the center of the dash, below your radio and HVAC controls. You could rig up a mount that has them sit back inside that "cubby". Out of the way, cant be bumped. Should be room for 5 switches there as I once had a CB in mine at one point, 'til I did my mod.
(Now I have CB, scanner, a/c outlet, six switches, and room for one more radio in that spot in front of my center jump seat).
