Default Upfitter switch install in FX4

After reading several posts on various forums, I finally installed the upfitter switches from a super duty into my 2013 F150 FX4. I was on the fence about using the raptor panel or trying to mount them in place of the useless cubby on the right side of the dash. I decided that the cubby on the console was significantly more useful than the dash cubby. Total time to mount the switches was about 4 hours. I had to remove some plastic and a little bit of the aluminum support behind the dash in order for the switch module to fit. The module itself also had to be trimmed down. After everything was clearanced, I used epoxy to attach the switch module to the backside of the dash trim. I ordered the relays for the switches and they should be in later this week. I'll post again when the wiring project is complete.

if I add some aux lights for off-road, driving, or rear-view ... THIS is the switch setup I'm using for sure. I love stuff that looks like it was designed to be there, and this is perfect!

Thanks, guys. I'll post up some pictures that I took while installing the switches once I have all the wiring done. In the mean time, here is the link that I have been using as a guide for my project- http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f170/...27/#post599232

That looks factory, that's the way ford should offer it from the factory. That's the one thing I don't like about my 150.

I've always been curious if you could make that work. Nice!
