Default Just installed my new windshield lights & hidden switch!

Kinda on the fence with the look, might swap them out for riged industries square led's.
I wanted to try to do some crazy re-wiring but was not worth all the effort to mess with the can bus system. That's another story.
I found a great location for my hidden switch that is very assessable to my fingertips. You guys might like(or not)
here's some pics

The switch is not noticeable when sitting in the front seats and If i don't point out where it is, no one would know it was there. also, if I decide to take out the lights/switch, there is no visible holes. I really wanted to buy a switch pod but the daystar is kinda in the way of the shifter and why spend 75$ for the rugged ridge one? just my opinion. I'm using my factory switch to activate my delta fogs. and the only other switch I was considering was one for my on board air set up with air horns... but I decided to use just a pressure switch to turn it on and off when my tank pressor is low. I also have an inverter to install in the rear of my truck but that will be constant hot.(no switch)

That's a great spot for s switch, like you said, no visible hole when you sell or remove.

That's where I had my ESP kill switch too! Great spot and I figured the dealer would never see it.

Nice switch placement. If you put a lighted switch, it would double as accent lighting.

I had an led lighted switch mounted but it was a bad switch. Had this one laying around. Might swap it out one day, the ground wire is still hanging there ready to go.. would be nice to have, didn't even think of that bonus!
