Going to get the 4 lights on the front bumper hooked up by next weekend...

Where would you put the switches? basically there is going to be 2 for front bumper and 4 for rollbar...
breakdown... Rollbar lights are broken but will get new ones later.. 5 forward on 3 switches and 2 eagle eyes backwards on 1 switch... 4 on front bumper on 2 switches....
I have a headliner in the truck that has a flat spot to it...

or on the right side of the dash.. lower area.. Since I do not have AC the vent is not there but a flat spot.. May be tight for that ammount of switches....

or cutout the storage spot on the upper right side of the dash and put a flat plate there....Nothing stays in there at the moment anyway....

If I didnt have a vent there I would make it a switch panel. It easily reachable and visible. I have mine down under the headlight knob, but i have to look to find it. i think it would be nice and easy where the cubby is. Check out seabass in the giveaway froum see if he could whip ya up a nifty little panel /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
 
This is where I put my ARB switches, could be a good place for light switches I would think. My rock lights switch is mounted on the top part, sorry no ppic of that.

I mounted my switches on the console, between the seats. I removed the cup holders and replaced them with a flat diamond plate. They are easy to see, and easy to reach. My drinks just bounce out of the holders anyway! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
