If I would be adding one, I would put it next to the rearview mirror switches....or in that area...

Current location:


New and improved location:


At the moment, only the roof light switch is wired in. The other two will be for the big lights on the front, and the bigger lights on the front (when I get them.) All three light up when powered.

The roof light is a single throw switch wired to fused power that is on all the time. That way I can put the lights on with the key out.

The other two are 2 pole switches. I'll set them up to either turn the lights on, or turn them on when the high beams come on.

For the moment, the switch bank is wedged in place. I'd like to come up with something a bit more finished eventually.

Good use of the empty box. Mounted my switch next to the heated seat switch. Working out well so far.
