    The same shit everyone else has.
    I finally diy'd a set of heated seats in my truck after putting if off for a while.

    Im looking for some inspiration on where to mount the switches.

    I see most people installing their switches like this -

    P1000108_e5990d747fb84b4d1d50bad3fd09edfc91179d24.jpg

    Or this -

    The truck is a 6 speed so the center console option is out (never was an option as it not symmetrical) and all the blanks under my HVAC are currently used.

    Ive seen them mounted like this -

    And this -

    But I feel like neither of those look OEM enough for me.

    Has anyone mounted their heated seat switches in other locations?

    If so, post some pics!

    Thanks for the pics but none of the really suite my situation.

    I ended up mounting them on the console near the shifter.
