I got tired of the lack of aux switches on most of our trucks, and after a lot of searching I found a switch panel that would work with my plans for the truck. After some deep thought I decided that my panel would need to hold 6 switches to do everything I wanted once I am done with everything. The switch panel and swithes were sourced from OTRATTW . They have switches for every possible application you could think of, and if they don't have what you are looking for then they can custom engrave what you want.

I went with this location because I only toss my wallet there when I am driving so its pretty much wasted space to me.

I had to cut out the two fastener locations that tie the center dash bezel to the center console top bezel. I used an angle grinder to cut the hole, but only because I don't have a rotary tool. DSC_0019.jpg

I then ran my wires through that hole and connected everything up. DSC_0020.jpg

The labels come on with the parking lights (and dim too), and the icon lights up when the switch is turned on. DSC_0022.jpgDSC_0023.jpg

Man, that looks really nice! I love a good clean install that could pass as factory.

Thanks guys. Any mod I install I try to give a professional finish to. So the feedback is much appreciated. CumminsDrvr, I saw a website that used sPod in one of their builds, and that's what gave me the idea for my placement. After some short research for parts sourcing I found the Otrattw page. For those with the center console the space where I mounted my switch bank is just wide enough for the 6 switch panel, Almost like it was made for it lol. I actually got really lucky since I only eyeballed it before I ordered the panel.

I agree with everyone. Hard to make switches look oem but that's the closest I've every seen. Nice job!

Looks awesome, good job!

Custom holster attached the the center console as well? Been meaning to get one that attaches under my steering column as I don't have a center console.
