    I see some of you guys are mounting switches in the "blanks" next to the factory fog light switch for your after market lighting needs. What are yall doing if you have lets say 3 or 4 switches you need to mount but you are out of blanks? Where are yall mounting them at?
    I saw one picture where a guy mounted switches near his cup holder close to where his seat belt would be. Seems pratical, but I would like a cover or something to go over the switch so if your arm bumps it you wont turn the switch on or off on accident.

    This image belongs to another tw member, i saw it and saved it as I too, have no blanks on the left. I like that the switches are down low and not as likely to get hit and turned on accidentally. I'll be putting a switch there shortly for a light bar. [​IMG]

    Also, there's this option if you happen to like that spot, or use smaller switches. [​IMG] *another unnamed TW member

    They don't, I believe there is a write up in the DIY/cheap mods section that you can fab it up with some parts from a ridgeline.

    also most of the switches are from here-->http://www.otrattw.com/
