Using relays lets you keep the gauge small.

I'll have to subscribe. I have the sunglasses holder with a moonroof, but I just don't wear them enough. So making the a nice factory looking mod will be interesting to follow.

Originally inspired by: Yellowfinii from a while ago... but unable to put the larger switches in a moonroof equipped truck....
Here is a thread for reference in a 6 switch panel mounted in the headliner.

Consider this a huge "BUMP"
After over-thinking a number of different ideas, the one in this thread was hands down the best. So, I finally buckled down and finished it:
I am so pleased with the accessibility from the driver's seat.
I ran 7-18ga and 1-14ga wire down the A-pillar, used a Hitachi OEM style connector under the dash, and color coded each circuit. I grounded to the cross bar behind the sunglasses holder (eliminating the need for 1 lead up the A-pillar)
I bought a Ford F350 upfitter switch set - $75. If someone wants it, along with the wiring diagram, PM me ($60 shipped to lower 48)
If anyone is wondering if it's worth it, let me assure you, it IS! Go for it!
