I'm looking to add some extra lights/strobes and therefore I will need to put switches in the truck somewhere.

I was originally thinking up on the A-Pillar so they were out of the way and pretty much unnoticeable to anyone who wasn't looking.

If I can find a setup that looked close to OEM, I would consider that instead.

I don't have a center console so adding a Raptor switch kit is out of the question for me. I was thinking of putting something in the cubby hole where the TBC would go, if I had one, but I think that is a lot of wasted space for a few switches.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for those, I think all of them,except one, would require a center console, which I don't have. And the one that was below the Sync USB and Aux In ports is real nice, but I have a pocket there for stuff and don't think switches would fit.

I understand that this is purely a topic that is left up the the imagination, I just wanted to see if anyone else out there had done some of this.

No problem... just wanted you to see some other solutions out there already discussed. Personally, I don't think any of the solutions on the other threads are right for me, so I'm happy to see other options.

There seems to be 4 button looking things between the heater controls on my non-navigation set-up. I may pull the dash off and see if I can somehow cut them loose and put a push button underneath and activate that way.

Looks like it may be a work in progress...

Those are the switches for heated and cooled seats.

You would think that Ford would add switches as an option. They have or had them on the super duties and Raptors, although I am not really a fan of the setup on the Raptors.

Ohhhh, awesome, so I can probably order them, and then just run my own wires. I'll just have to make an overlay to cover the image that is currently on there.

Thanks!

I've looked into using those centre 4 tabs for switched lights etc..
The entire module with fan speed and heat **** will have to be replaced with one of the heated/cooled seats because the tabs are part of the plastic module. If you take it apart you will understand. The price on heated/cooled seat module if i remember correctly is somewhere near $200 alone.
