Post pics of your extra lights (bullbar/brushguard) switch.

I need some ideas of where to mount and what switch to use to turn on my lights that are going on my bullbar or brush guard. Any pics and where did you get them?

I have a 98, but I mounted my switch flush with the little panel thats next to the steering wheel/key insert. Just pops right out, drilled a few holes and filed them a bit larger and popped in the switch. I'll get pics tomorrow.

Left one runs the two brush guard lights and the right one runs the five on the roof. Rockers came with the KC's. Planning on running two more on the right later on. One for stereo amp power and one for a set of reverse lights.

Nice setup, but that wire would annoy the crap out of me. And for those reverse lights, I think it would be cooler to tie into your reverse switch so they light up on their own.

To the OP I really can't even notice the wire at all it is out of the way.

And to Tommy I used body molding/trim tape. It is stronger than double sided tape.

As Drkharbinger said, you don't even notice the wire. Hell, most of the time I can't see the switch anyways because it's blocked by the steering wheel.

I used 3m double sided anchoring tape to mount the switch.

Mine are under my dash. I just kind reach down there and hit them. Once I find the switches I want to use I will fabricate my switchboard thanks to a piece of woodgrain from a member here.
