Seeing how I use my LED light bar for my high beams (back roads) I had to mount it for quick & easy access.

Pop cover off top tray and remove two screws. Think there's a screw in the back of the cubby hole above where he mounted the switch. If You have a centre console that has to be removed as well

I need to get that blank cover. Mine is a small cubby that I cut the back off to run the wires. I just stuck it in there. Works but doesn't look all that great.

Does anyone know where I can get a rocker panel cover for the small cubby on the passenger side of the stereo under the vent?

This spot works great for my '13 (6spd) because there is nothing behind it and it is a $5 panel to replace if I ever need to take the switches out.

You wouldn't happen to know the part number for that panel would you?

1WA33TRMAB is the part # for my 2013 with the black colored dash. That number may/will vary depending on truck year and dash color...

So is there no way to utilize some of the vacant button spots on the factory panels? For example, I don't have a sunroof but I have the panel available with vacant button spots. I just always assumed one could pop or cut out those button spots and add some type of aftermarket switches. Similar spots exist down by the tow/haul button area.

This was also my thought. I don't have the buttons for the sunroof but i do have like two extra on my area by the HVAC controls that would be nice to use.

I'm hoping this setup will work for my front camera and lightbar, 2 latching led 16mm buttons under the shift dial....
