I should be getting my hid off road lights in the mail tomorrow and I have no clue where to mount the switch. Let me see where you put your switches. Keep in mind I will be adding 3 more switches in the near future for another set of off road lights , Rock lights , and for the Front Locker

The Daystar vent switch panel is what I use. Can have up to 4 switches with 2 pcs. Clean and functional.

I added my switches on the center console, in the space next to the e-brake handle.

It's very easy to switch off if you're resting your arm (your fingers naturally sit on them), or even hit with the flip-covers down your elbow. You can also add flush-mount ones that look very nice. Also, this spot is easily accessible by the passenger too.

I'll take some pictures later tonight and show.

Flush mount and double throw poles. I plan on converting them all to the flush mounts with a single master switch somewhere else to reduce the chance of accidentally triggering them.

Yes, I know they are a tad crooked. I never look at them though. Just feel and click.

Also, I had them in the transmission gear selector plate.
