The black ones look great. Those with red lights or even blue to match the FX4 packages would be great.
They do look great! I’ve done both ...but never saved a pic from our 2009-2014 body style.... but here’s pics of a 2015-2018 power rear slider console that I sell a lot of for the 13th gen trucks:
Thanks,

And I’ve got both FX4 logos that are used in our 2009-2014 12th gen trucks:
The OTRATTW/Carling Technologies Switches are lower independent:
And the Red LED’s are indeed RED.... not pink.
(The iPhone camera does not bring out the accurate color of the Red .... probably due to the bright led).

I do agree that those switch panels look great but unfortunately I'm not willing to do any permanent modifications to my truck (just a way of thinking I've adopted after years of modifying vehicles and consistently being disappointed that I don't have the option to go back later on down the road, for whatever reason...).
That seems like a great option for a lot of people but it looks like I'll have to stick with something more along the lines of what I was originally thinking.
I suppose I should have mentioned that in the beginning.
So, where will you put them? You said something about "factory" switches, but there is no such thing on standard F150s of our gen (only Raptor and SDs). So, there really isn't a space anywhere that wouldn't fall under your 'no permanent mods' rule.

Oh I'm sure there's something.
The Code 3 is an option because (as Angus1 suggested) I can mount the main box under the hood and run the remote control into the cab. I know some modification may be inevitable, I'm just not alright with cutting up my headliner.
I can certainly understand not wanting to cut the headliner. I strongly considered Kustom's switch panel for mine, as I think they look great and the Carling switch are very high quality. I ended up with the OEM Super Duty switches for the factory look and have been very pleased. The installation is reversible, you would just been to epoxy the cubby back to the trim panel. I have an OEM brake controller so I used the passenger side cubby and did have to trim a little plastic behind the dash piece, but if you don't have the brake controller, I think the switches will fit in the driver's side without trimming.
Yes, there are a lot of options. It’s all what one prefers and we’re here to help.
The OEM super duty switches that jp360cj is talking about is a popular option and looks great too!!
Understood that cutting into our $1200-$1500 headliner certainly is not for the faint of heart.... but our headliners are a tight woven material that a fresh new blade works with no issues.
FYI: I do offer a “blank” plate if one ever decides to return to stock. (It bolts back over the hole and I can laser a nice logo to look natural).
Again, it’s all what one prefers & we all have our preferences.
I’ve heard of some wireless systems out there too, but not sure how well they work??? PIAA had a system when I managed an off road accessory shop and they had problems... but assume Time & Technologies have gotten better since then.... maybe someone on here who has experience and some info on the wireless systems can chime in?
