Switch Mounting Options

[jonathansdotson]

So I'm trying to mount a couple new switches for two new light bars that I'm rigging up, and I don't have enough blank spots for the new switches I have.

How/where have you all mounted your extra switches? Did you just dremel a hole - if so, how does it look? Any other ways I don't know about? I'd like to keep it looking somewhat factory. Please post any links/pics y'all might have. Thanks!

I don't have any pics but I do know some people use the sunglass holder up top as a 6 switch panel. I am planning on doing it in the future. You can put a rectangle in it and then just use a light adhesive to mount the panel to it. It will fit 6 switches. From there you can add all of your switches and wire them into the headliner and follow down the A-Pillar.

Thanks for the reply. I'd like to keep the switches on the dash/center console though, if possible. Any options there?

Hmmm, not 100% sure. You could take a dremel to the area behind the shifter with the switch blanks if they are empty and try there, but that seems sketchy.

You could also use the little cubby area under the climate controls. Take the door thingy off, chop off the sides and then carefully dremel a rectangle in it. That should be able to hold six switches. Running wiring shouldn't be too difficult, but you will likely have to cut out a bit of the back panel too to both physically fit the switches and run the wiring. Should be doable and if done properly, should be pretty dang clean.
