Still have to paint them and install the fuse box, but I'm using an aux switch kit for an 09 ford F350.

I had the switches but I bought a whole kit for the fuse box and relays.
I had to cut the bezel and mold it in.

All painted, ready to go back in.

Are you able to turn that into a kit and/or willing to make a few more? :grin2:

 

[lqdchkn]

Honestly, probably not. Too much time that I don't have. I've done these on my breaks at work.

Have a link to these switches?

Those appear to be these:

If they hook up anything like the ones I tried though:

Youll need to run separate power and ground for the illumination. I couldn't jump either power or ground off the main switch circuit for the illumination which I didn't like because that was going to be too much extra wiring for me to just trigger the led.

Troy Products released a insert mount for the center console:

Looks like you can have any number of faceplates for switches, radios or whatever. No word on the price yet...I have an email in to them so we will see.

It's nice but what about the cigarette lighter power port and USB, now?

You have yours set up exactly where I want to do mine, how hard is it to pull out that piece or where can I find a manual for it?

Relatively easy as far as the interior stuff goes. Pull the rubber cup holders out. Then the trim ring around the shifter area. Then the USB port in the console. Walk it out front to back, it's really in there but there are little notches in the front and back you can get a tool under, it pulls up then you can disconnect it from the wiring. There might be a couple screws in the interior base (cant remember) then the whole thing just pulls up if I remember. Pretty sure you dont even need to take the armrest lid off

Can anyone tell me a good place to ground switches under the dash besides the bolt on the dlc.

If you’re doing things right any place bare metal should work.

My son works at Tap Plastics and made this switch plate that mounts in the little cubby hole in between the seat warmer buttons. He drilled some holes in the side so the insert snaps in place. The picture shows some long clear plastic rods, but they were trimmed down to about 1/4". I installed a 20" slim light bar and some 3" cube lights from SuperBrightLeds.com (SBL) on my Lil B's winch bumper and also ordered the wiring harness from from SBL. I did order 3 of the blue LED version of the switch so it matches the color scheme. I cut a slit in the big rubber boot where all the other wires come through the firewall to run the switch wires through. I'm very pleased with how it turned out

Cool son. Cause Tap Plastics time aint cheap. I'd be surprised if one could get them to make that for less than $50 for a retail customer.

Hey folks - I am working on wiring a 6 switch setup in my overhead console where the the sunglasses holder is. Does anyone have any recommendations for running wiring for power to under the hood? I know how to get it through the firewall where the knock out hole is by the pedal, but I dont know the best path to get it down from the headliner to the floorboard. I am guessing maybe the front pillar by the side view mirror? But I dont know how to get it down past the dash. Anyone know or have a write up on it? I could also get it down the seat belt pillar and pull up the door sill also.

suggest you review the dashcam thread. Some of the things people have done there may be relevant to what youre looking for
