I'm actually putting some switches in now. I've got two in so far but when I'm done there will be four (hence the pilot holes drilled next to the existing switches). Unfortunately Napa only had 2 of the switches I wanted in stock so I'm waiting on the other two to show up. They will be running my raptor lights on the front, some rigid duallys that I will be adding soon, in cab led's, and the 4th switch is for future clearance lights if I end up deciding to do them. I also have a 5th switch located under my headlights control so I can power on and off my PHP Gryphon tuner if I so choose.

But to answer your question my switches are from Napa. They are Echlin RS2020 rockers which have a green LED indicator when they are turned on.

I didn't know they sold them at napa I thought they had to be found online. but your truck looks like it's pretty sweet from that picture. I was thinking of taking out the little ash tray on the bottom and mounting my switches there

There's a thread named custom switch panel up next to this one in the 2004-2008 section. RyanD shows how he did it.

Yeah bud I just took a scrap computer housing and cut it up with a dremel. You can use any old piece of plastic. If you have any questions just pm me or leave a comment.
