I'm looking for a clean way to do a light bar and switch panel but haven't been able to find any clean places to install one, or a switch panel that looks good. Any help?
I used an empty panel on dash. Switches for front and rear auxiliary lights, interior driving light, and e-fan override.
LED bar is mounted inside bumper.

How did you cut the bumper to install the light bar?
^ Measured from inside bumper, drilled one corner for placement, then moved measurements to outside. Cut bumper with cut-off wheel on 4.5" angle grinder. Finished corners with hacksaw blade, then cleaned up edges with flap-disc. LED hangs from bumper on stock holes for auxiliary lights.
I'm sure I removed some integrity from the bumper, but not enough for me to be concerned about.
I'm really only in need of two or three switches but wanted to use ones like in your picture vs. Just standard toggle switches
You don't have listed what year you have. If 97-01, and you only need 3 switches, the easiest/cleanest panel imo is this:
There are a few places to buy this panel cheap, or just make one. If I only had 3 switches I'd have this one. And these switches are awesome, expensive as heck, but awesome. Living in ME and now WNY, I had a prob with moisture/fog in the winter and kept ruining regular toggles all the time. Not with these.

I like this panel as well. It does look super clean. I have a 2000 XJ
Here is what I used with my 3 sets on the front and the rear work/back-up lights. They are out of the way and easy to see without taking you eyes off the trail, the mount I bought from Summit or Jegs. Also very easy to wire up.
