I am about to install two of these switches and am wondering where you mounted yours? Found one place just to the right of the steering column, but that spot is also hidden from view by the steering wheel.

On a truck as new as yours, I’d be getting the kind of switch that just sticks onto the dash and not drill into anything. Or get a wireless controller.

I take it that doesn't plug in anywhere?
I'm that case, I'd put it on the headliner by the sunvisor

IF ...
You have a Overhead Console ....

Contact someone that has pulled the BEZEL that holds the radio in place


Your Bezel may be a different type
Classic or New Style

You could buy a auxbeam switch panel and use doubke side tape to mount the switch panel to the dash. At least thats what I did. All the wiring goes to a separate fuse/relay box I mounted to the existing fuse box panel

There's a thought, if the OPs truck didn't come with fog lights, he can get an OEM light switch with fog light option and use that to power the lightbar

Just hate to cut the dash AND they never put instructions in these damn things so i have no idea the correct diameter for the hole. Seems to be between 3/4 and 7/8 but I have no hole saw that size. If I drill the wrong size I am F'ed. About to abort until i can get another solution.

Decided to enlist the help of a knife case I had and mount the switches where I can see them [and also close to where I had them on my 2016 Sport]. Running the back light wiring right now. Just couldn't cut the dash, especially since the light switches would be hidden by the steering wheel.
