Default Fog Light switch placement?

Want to install some fogs (not factory), where are you guys putting the switch?
Obviously looking for something slick/factory looking, suggestions? Pix would be great. Thanks.

Here's where I did mine. This is out of date now though, I have 2 switches side by side which still looks clean.

Like that alot, very clean. Is that the switch that came with the KC's? and I haven't really played with it yet, how hard is it to get that panel off?

Thanks for the pix guys

So far I'm only using 3 of these but when I get more accessories I'm ready to go! I think this is the best location. And I have heard that the daystar panel gets in the way with a stick too.

Here's with the side panel removed, it's fairly easy to work behind if you use needle nosers to make the connections

I put 2 Hella 500 switches in the same location as Haha JK. Take off the left lateral dash panel (that faces the door) and you do not have to take of the remainder of the front panel to get the light switches in. I had never put aftermarket lights in before but found the removal of the side panel and mounting of the switch to be easy. Good luck!

You can get the switches at walmart or autozone, try sending neoxxis a pm, he bought 50 of them and was selling them for $1 each shipped
