Hey, I've got yet another lighting/switch question for you all...

I have 3 sets of lights intalled: one set of driving lights behind the grill, one set of driving lights in the valance, and a set of reverse lights under the back bumper.

So, I am tired of 3 different kinds of switches, and would like to invest in a nice switch panel, but not with a starter pushbutton, etc. Unfortunately, most of the switch panels I'm looking at are all above $100, which isn't exactly what I had in mind. I'm either looking at toggles or rockers, and plan on mounting them either below the dash or in the console that in a 4x4 houses the 4wd selector ( I think).

If anybody knows a good switch panel that is at a reasonable price, please let me know. Also, I am needing to get at least 4 switches, as I have future plans. 6 is the most that I'll do.

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

It is not a panel per say, but a ganged switch housing.

Carling Tech makes this type of switch, you might be able to find them cheaper :

Don't know if this is what you were looking for, but this is the quickest item I could think of.

 

Do you have an overhead console? I put some switches there. While this pic only shows 2, I now have 3 and there is room for a 4th.

plus its only 20 bucks and you can reuse your switches.

 

Someone on FTW a while back was making htese for the pocket holes in the F-150 dash (for those that had it) I had to find the piece of dash in a junkyard so I could use it but I like where my switches are (its the third location I've had them thus far, LOL)


This is where I had had them previously (in my overhead console)


And prior to that, in the dash surrounding the steering wheel:

 

I've got that pocket console, and that's where I'd really like to install the switches...

What is the backing used for the switches to mount on? I might just keep my switches of I can fabricatete panel myself...

Thanks.

 

It is just a piece of plastic cut to fit basically, just mounts between the pocket itself and the dash piece. In my case I had to cut the plastic pocket part.

 

awesome. Thanks, man. I'll definately give this a try after X-mas (b/c this weekend I get to finish my last minute shopping...yay --*sarcasm*)

 

If you want I think hes still got some.. I think it was $15... and was easier for me than buying a whole sheet, cutting to size, etc.
