Light switch panels

[Javerso]

Hi all. Happy new year. I’m looking for ideas on where to mount and what to use for a switch panel for lights. I would like it to be discreet but if there is a nice looking panel and a good place to mount it I would like to look into it.
I was also thinking of a remote key fob option
I have a light bar, 2 cubes and also a power actuated light mount that folds down when not in use.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Looking to add AUX switches? Using the homelink buttons to control Lightbars DIY HOW TO for under $20.

So I just added MicTuning C2 rocklights under my truck and I didn't want to drill a hole on a panel in the interior of the truck. So I purchased a eMylo DC 12V 1 Channel 433Mhz RF Wireless Relay Remote Control Momentary Light Switch Self-lock Transmitter with Receiver for Home Use Learn more...

Switch Pros makes one that’s really nice. I plan on either running that one with an SDHQ mount and mount it in the lower console area pull out next to the USB module. Also, Garmin makes a wireless one that can be controlled via their Overlander GPS unit. There are also numerous wireless switchers that can be controlled via key fob/Bluetooth out there.

@Malodave made one:

The Raptor Has A Cool Aux Switch Bank - So Can The RAM!

If he'll share the file I will print them for people for cost+shipping.

They are $50 each with Shipping. I have one without the PSI Gauge ready to ship.
Others would have to wait until they get printed. Switches and final finishing are up to you.

Nifty, I had never heard of the Garmin PowerSwitch. It also has an iPhone/Android app, so you don’t need a Garmin GPS unit. An iPad mini plus onX Off-road app would be less expensive and more versatile than a dedicated GPS device, if you didn’t want to use a phone.

It happens that I had a bunch of Best Buy rewards points expiring soon, so even though I don’t have any aux lights yet, I ordered the PowerSwitch. With rewards, it ended up being not much more than an Auxbeam.

I ordered the Garmin. Makes install so easy. I may actually mount it to the light rig Since it’s military grade and water proof. And then just run the 2 wires to under the hood. (Just thinking about that). Thanks for the ideas. Also got the 3 year warranty through Amazon.

Really?! I didn’t realize that! I might end up getting that myself soon then too! I love the idea of having it work wirelessly for the most part. My OCD kicks in with a lot of extra wires and can’t stand it. Thanks!

Can also use the homelink buttons if you've got them

I don‘t understand why Ram doesn’t make a $250 upfitter light switch option like you can get on the Jeep Wrangler.

A lot of guys need remote switching for their trucks in their roadside construction business, volunteer fire department, off road or a verity of other times you need switchable power.
