Looking for some suggestions on a decent switch and mounting location for a set of Hella 500 driving lights. I picked up a Bull Bar with the lights already mounted on them from a friend, but he didn't have the wiring harness for them. I just ordered the harness and a new set of covers for the lights, but I'm stuck on where to mount the switch for them. My truck does not have factory fog lights and does not have a fog light bumper.

I searched around a bit but couldn't come up with anything good. So - any suggestions?

 

to the left of the headlight switch. easy to drill out from the back and it is a small panel and would be cheap to replace if need be. get a toggle from autozone. mine is a black toggle with a little blue led in it. I use it for my halos.

 

Carling makes some really nice, high-quality switches that look OEM. Many to choose from:

I put 2 little round LED switches between the cig lighter and reverse sensor button.

 

^ i would install those upside down tho....those blue ones are crazy bright at night even when they arent pointed up in your face lol. red ones are also bright but not as blinding as the blue ones. also mine only had the lighter in the middle so if i added some to that panel, I could probably do 2 on each side if i needed to

 

Yeah I think you can do 2 on each side. They are pretty bright, that is one thing to know going into it.

 

yeah i tried using a sharpie to color over it to dim the light a bit but it takes a long time to get it darker and it seems it wipes off from use quicker than it takes to apply it. mine is aimed down when its turned on and it is still bright.
