So I am adding a behind-the-grille lightbar and a pillar lights in the near future. Parts are already on order. I need to get switches. I'd like to run the light bar off one switch and the A pillar lights off another.

Ideally, I'd like a solution that has 3 switches total since I will likely add aux backup lights in the future. So light gurus, what are my options for adding switches? Where do I put them and which ones should I use?

Yeah... not many good places on our trucks, not without cutting stuff.

Looking at your dash you have 2 ideal places, but the problem is there's a metal structure behind them... well after looking for any place to mount them I decided... hell with it, I'M going to put them where I want them... I cut out the metal behind as well and ya know what... it works.

I had to cut off one of the pieces that holds the dash to the truck but it wasn't really needed, as the other clips hold it... but here is where i put my 3... I should have put them by the steering wheel but when I started this I didn't expect to have to cut the metal..

I'm adding more lights so I'll add 3 more switches by steering wheel, in same blank area, so i'll move my "most used" lights to these and the "less common" ones to the passenger side.

Works well, and looks perfect:


The cut-outs for the switches


The cut-outs for the switches




The distribution block (this one gets replaced with a bigger one once I add more lights)

Now you got me on a mission to do the uplifters lol... even though the locations I used will work, I still want them up top or somewhere all together... damn you!
