Anyone else have this type or simlar of a light bar switch?

[DeckArtist]

I am about to install two of these switches and am wondering where you mounted yours? Found one place just to the right of the steering column, but that spot is also hidden from view by the steering wheel.

On a truck as new as yours, I’d be getting the kind of switch that just sticks onto the dash and not drill into anything. Or get a wireless controller.

I take it that doesn't plug in anywhere?
I'm that case, I'd put it on the headliner by the sunvisor

IF ...
You have a Overhead Console ....

Contact someone that has pulled the BEZEL that holds the radio in place


Your Bezel may be a different type
Classic or New Style

My four KC's came with two of those cheap switches
Threw them in the trash and purchased a rocker switch and a

You could buy a auxbeam switch panel and use doubke side tape to mount the switch panel to the dash. At least thats what I did. All the wiring goes to a separate fuse/relay box I mounted to the existing fuse box panel

There's a thought, if the OPs truck didn't come with fog lights, he can get an OEM light switch with fog light option and use that to power the lightbar

Thats true would be a cleaner look

Just hate to cut the dash AND they never put instructions in these damn things so i have no idea the correct diameter for the hole. Seems to be between 3/4 and 7/8 but I have no hole saw that size. If I drill the wrong size I am F'ed. About to abort until i can get another solution.

Decided to enlist the help of a knife case I had and mount the switches where I can see them [and also close to where I had them on my 2016 Sport]. Running the back light wiring right now. Just couldn't cut the dash, especially since the light switches would be hidden by the steering wheel.

Those who drive with their brights on....BEWARE!

I bought 2 of these and mounted 1 just below the speedo.

By far the best set up I found was to look at a s 2500 or 3500 which come with one switch panels. They fit in dash below the radio where the Ram plastic emblem is. Thru pop out and the 2509 switch panel pops in. Works with an open fuse spot u see hood. Looks great and one extra bonus is they shut off on their own when you turn truck off. Comes with 4 built in own switches.

I wanted to add fog lights to my 2021 Ram 2500, but I did not want to drill another hole through the firewall. I found a wireless remote switch on Amazon that did the trick!

It works great with minimal wiring under the hood! I attached the key fob style switch to the dash with velcro.​

You need to buy a step drill at Harbor Freight. It will have all the sizes to drill
those holes. If needed a small round file will adjust its size.

Since Radio Shack died , I find a good selection of switches at marine/boat supply stores. But then again, I live in a boating state.

ATV & Dune Buggy places have the same switches

If you have an ORW store around you, they carry the switches

Does it cut metal well? My friend the welder tells me no bit is suitable for thick metal and I am starting to believe him.
