Default Light bar and switch options.

Hey all, I am asking for some input on lighting and a switch.
I currently have a set of back up lights for the rear and a set of bed strip lights. Neither are installed yet. I am looking for options for front lighting. I am thinking a light bar for the center of the bumper. The truck is a 2014 XLT. I think that space is a good spot for a light. I am not married to that idea if other options exist. I used the search and am not having much luck finding what i think i want. It does not need to be a billion lumen but a desent amount if light is desired.
I don't want to have a bunch of single switches in the cab to turn them all on and off. I have looked at thr auxbeam gang switch panel and I think that will work nicely. Where are you all installing the panel? I have a bench seat and colmn shifter so maybe below the radio, just above the floor? Any other switch panels to consider?
thanks for the ideas.
Mike

There might have been an upfitter option for your year/generation. I'm keeping my eye open for a few items for my truck and this is one of them.

What about this option? Brett is an awesome guy and makes quality panels! I had one in my 2011 and still contemplating one for my 2018

I did reach out for pricing for this option. I just dont think I can cut my headliner. I did go the Auxbeam option. If it ever stops raining here, I will get it installed. I have several goodies to install but the weather is not cooperating at all.

It’s easier than it looks. Plus he has blank panels to fill in the hole if you ever decide to remove the switch

Thank you, and I thank many for the success of my KustomFX switch panels.
Much appreciated!

Hi Mike!
The Lethal Weapon profile is my "civilian" profile.
But you can certainly reach me there.....
Or since I'm also a vendor on here, a business profile had to be created and you will see KustomFX.
They are both me.

There are a lot of threads and posts you can look at on here.

Also, you can email me directly at:
lethalweapon09@yahoo.com
And I can email you back with info, options, pics and pricing.
(A website is in the works and most likely spring by the time it's up and running).

Thanks,

Brett

Mike,
Did you ever go the Auxbeam route? I'm trying to find a place to mount the actual wired box in the engine bay. I have a V8 F150 and cant fine a good spot.

Mike,

can you post or send me a few pictures of where you and how you mounted the box? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Tom

I’ve been searching for options on this, myself. Ran across this and it seems to fit the bill perfectly for my 2020. I don’t need tons of switches and this appears to integrate to look almost OEM.
