No, the PIAAs are fairly slim and do not extent much past the bar. I don't have any side pics of my new FX4 yet, but I had the same exact setup on my 2011 Platinum, 2011 XLT, and 2009 FX4, so have a couple of pics of those:

A little too distant to see on my Platinum:



Close up on my white 2011 XLT:



Best shot taken off my 2009 FX4 with exact same Smittybilt light bar and PIAA light setup:




I don't have any interior pics yet, but I mounted the light switches in the same place as my 2011 XLT EcoBoost. I placed the switches on either side of the steering column right under the gauge cluster (see pic below):



Another option I did was to mount the switches on the bottom panel of the center console as shown on my 2009 FX4 below:

Okay Cool Thanks D

I did notice that size as well but also like the wider look

Also another place to put them is in the "ash tray" in front of your console shifter (if you have it) like so

Yeah, I remember that too! Not a bad idea and uses that space if you have switches that fit (my PIAA switches are too long and I like seeing them on the dash anyway).

Ryan - Ironically I had crossed that thread while stalking the other forum (not a member there) when you posted this. That switch looked awesome sanded and painted!

Wow, I'm sorry I didn't see this thread earlier! I'm seldom on here any more as my truck is as modded as it's going to get and is solid right now.

But Desert Dawg, you're rides are incredible...clean and understated yet just badass! Hahaha! Keep it up!
