    Do we have something like this thread that went nowhere here on this forum comparing the various switching options?

    https://www.4runners.com/threads/switch-pros-sp-9100-vs-rlb-pro8-switch-panel.23096/

    I have added back many items that Ford decontented from the interior on the 2020s with all OEM parts so it looks absolutely stock inside. So doing the Ford Raptor up-fitter switches is the most appealing idea but also most costly and most effort.

    But these other switches are very interesting. Definitely a very wide variance in prices. There's even a mount for the F150s.

    I guess I need to go back to apologizing for being a F150 guy at the beginning of each post.

    @crashnburn80

    I came to this forum because Google searches led me here. Funny thing, no matter what your chosen brand and their various forums nobody has anything like Crashes SAE threads. Maybe if you don't want an outsider here you should ask Google to stop directing us here.

    And by the way that kind of response belongs in a Ford forum. Not at all the norm for this lighting forum.

    This makes sense, we’re lucky to have crash. Both you’re question is kinda ford specific. We have member’s like @MESO making us switch panels but I’m not sure if there’s any after market support for ford, other than the stuff you’ve all ready found. Any ford service truck I’ve ever been in is just full of cheap switched drilled / screwed into the dash.

    I didn't mean it to be ford specific. There is a way to do it with all ford parts as the link shows but it is costly and quite a bit of work. Until I came here it would definitely have been the way I went. But before I came here I also wouldn't have spent almost a grand on two sets of DD pods. So there is a ford way of doing as there are also ram and gm outfitter switches for those guys. BUT the spods and others will work with anything. The first link was to a Toyota forum that went nowhere. Was trying to see if that discussion was here but the furd stuff probably mucked that up a bit.

    The 2nd picture is aftermarket support for the switchpros in a ford.
