where to put a switch
in my first gen....there was a strip of plastic trim across the dash about knee level (the rest was metal)
i put my switches in a neat little row in between the cigarette lighter and the steering column.
bad idea
they were right at knee level and in the crash i was slammed forward and those switches cut my knee all to hell and i broke them clean off.....

What color is your interior? I can pick you up one and ship it to you. You just want the ash tray for that dash piece right?
That looks really good! What'd you use to cut the second hole for the second fog switch?
I was about to order 5 mini-switches to put in the pocket right below my stereo before i wrecked my truck. I was gunna put a piece of plastic across the front and have the switches evenly spaced, and run out to a second relay box next to the P/S brake booster.
I added fog lights to my XLT after the fact, I have that two bin catch all over the trans hump and opted to put my switch on that. I had to buy 15/16 wood drill bit for the size hole for the switch. Its almost the same type, blue led light tosses of a big shine on the floor.

Current set up- oe fog switch running the Hellas, one for regular fogs


Old set up was just a toggle switch in the a-pillar(covering the hole with a dual gauge pod)

It will only work if you have an aftermarket radio but it works great and there is room for 6 switches like I have. easy to reach and looks decent when done right. I have heard you can get regular rocker switches in that gap also. I have had them in the pocket beside the airbag switch also but wasn't crazy about them if you use the switch alot.
yea i bought this from auto zone and it works pretty well just wished i could have founf the one with the key fob switch instead
