Ya I got 2 from Oreilly auto parts! And they are like 20 or so amp switches and my lights are ram through a wired in 40A relay because if I didn't the full current would melt switch!

Here's what I did for my two fog light on the pull bar and the 5 on the light bar on the roof, just under the stock switch for the lights

Both of those setups look bad ***! I like the way it looks in the ashtray. How do you have to plexiglass positioned so it doesn't come out or anything? Glue?

Ya epoxy is holding it in! Their is also a small block of wood on the one side that matches the other sides factory dip and all! Just mounted flush on top across! For switch I drilled very carefully 2 holes not sure on size want to say 7/8' for switch so slide in and clip but works really good! One is to power on my HID off road lights on brush guard and one is for my Police lights and siren controller! Have to be able to disable the system because its a POV First responder set up in my daily driver!
