Default a pillar light switch location

Rugged ridge does make a A pillar swich pod would fit the 12's too only thing......I think they could have done a much better job on a factory look. The bottom looks ummm crappy. Its stright across and should taper down like the factory piece does. You can see the big gap there. I hope they correct that.

They have an office is Suwanee, GA and I called them in December. They told me that production for the 11-12 model had not started and was not slated to start at that time. They said that the 07-10 would fit but not perfectly. Maybe they ahve pumped some out by now. I did notice that the bottom edge of the A pillar piece on the 12 is quite different than on my 10. It is not flat and actually tucks behind the dash piece and the side panel

I have the PIAA 510. They are 4.5" 55 watts and are on the Smittybuilt brackets. Unless I try, I cant see them while driving, even when they are on. I have no complaints. The 540 would most likely shine a little more distance down the road, but I have mine angled for trail riding so it does not make a difference to me. The 540 is only 1" bigger so still not blocking as much view as 6"+ lights.

no, those are Rugged Ridge brackets, but I know that poison spyder recently started making ones for the rigids that are really small and hide away nicely. They're round the same price bout $30 bucks.

Ok...THIS is what I'm talkin' bout! I'm liking this set up A LOT! What brackets did you use on this? Any other pics of the lights on the "A" piller? Thanks for posting!
