2001 Switch panel

I am looking for some ideas of where in my truck to put a switch panel in or on the dash. Something for lights, air compressor and anything else. Post pics or links if you have something. Thanks

Is your truck 4x4? If not put them where the 4x4 switch is supposed to be.

One on the left is fr the center light on the front and the on the left one is for my interior glow and the other is for the outer two lights on my light bar.

If I need somethig with another switch I'm gonna move the interior LEDs to the parking light switch

I'd have no clue on how to install switches and what not. Especially for lights.

You will want to put an inline fuse from the battery, just in case. and if the lights draw alot of amps (im sure interior lights wont) I would use a relay.

did a kindergardener draw this haha

its slightly more involved than that, including at least one fuse and a relay for the lights since they draw alot of power
