Ok so I have 2 RC light bars (grill and bumper). The push button switches that RC included don’t stick well to the dash. So I purchased 2 RC rocker switches. I wanted to mount them in the panel above the parking brake release but apparently there is a release cord behind and it doesn’t look like it will clear. Looking for other locations to mount them (I can’t use the AEV mount as my iPad mount is utilizing the location, I do not want to buy the OEM auxiliary switch panel and I do not have the center console). Any suggestions are appreciated!!!! Ty

Mount under the dash or steering column. Both are empty spaces.

Does your truck currently have the overhead courtesy lamp assembly?

If so, I have a few customers who have installed their rocker switches and auxiliary switches in the overhead. If I can find a pic or two I will post them.

The switches I have seen mounted in the overhead were mounted where they were closest to the rear of the truck, not towards the windshield.
One of my full time off-roaders has a row of rocker switches in the overhead with custom labels for each one.

Yes I do have that assembly.

I just installed a 3 gang rocker from amazon for my led light bar, bed/camper led lights, and top secret seat eject option. Check out the location...
