Default Switch for lights

I would like to install a switch in the panel below the AC switches. I have 4 blanks there and wonder what you folks had used for switches?

I think a few people have macguyver'd something but its a circuit board behind there, so there's not much room to fit any old switch.

I use the Daystar switch board it is molded to give more room for the wiring. It is super easy to wire up anything with them. All mine just go to relays under the hood.

If you're referring to the switch panel with the ESP and hazards, there is no room behind that thing. It's easier to use the lower daystar panel switch which is what most people do including me.

I used Autoloc custom billet switches in mine. I mounted them just below the radio, to the right and left of the power window switches, between the AC vents. Got custom color back lighting too. The are connected to a home built relay network that controls the KC Lights and fishing lights.

Well since what I wanted to do is not very feasible show me some pics of what you folks have. What relays do you guys use to wire lights to?

I love my warn fog lights. Wireless switch included. You can mount it anywhere without wiring. Very practical.
