This is my switch panel, i made it out of 16 gauge sheet metal. Lot of work for something so simple, but l think it came out nice enough.

I really like it. I think I might do the same thing when I help my husband put the extra lights on my cherokee in a couple of weeks.

Where is the wiring that connects it to the lights? Do you just guide the wires though the dash?

What i did was drill two holes in the backside of the ashtray. Then two holes in the dash right behind the ashtray to line up with the other two holes. And just feed the wires through to the left under the dash. I loosen the lower dash panel to drill the holes in it so i wouldn't hit anything behind it.
