If you want a factory look, check out the OTRATTW.com Contura switches. If you like them, you might consider options that use those switches. sPOD does, but so do others, including at least one A-pillar switch pod I've seen. You can wire the dual-lit switches into the dash dimmer circuit. I'd post a pic I have on my phone, but Android Lollipop has killed the usability of the photo gallery. :-(

I've got the OTRATTW switches on a Rugged Ridge a-pillar mount on my 2014. Love the look. I had to sand the edges of the covers to make them for the blanks of the RR panel but it's well worth the effort.

This is the look I want to go for as well. What do the back of the switches look like? Do you need any other parts to wire them up?

Firewall?
What I want to know is where are you guys coming through the firewall? Is there an easy existing hole or did you drill? If you did drill where? Pictures would be awesome!!!

So if you take the side panel of the dash off on either side there is a hole that might have foam in it. But stick a coat hanger through and it comes out under the cowl. That's where I ran my wires. As for switches. I went to Oznium.com and picked up some flush mount anti vandel switches. I don't have power windows so I had a space between the center dash vents. Where I mounted six switches. IMO, they look factory. Easy to wire and look good when on. If you want pics I'll post some later. I don't have any on my phone.

Excellent!

Nice job on the switches. Post up some pics for sure.
