Default Rocker switch placement???

Hello all!


Looking for some suggestions for mounting rocker switches for off road lights in my LR3. I'm going to be adding LED lights to a Voyager rack that is on its way as well as the factory brush guard. I need to install at least 4 rocker switches, so the space to the left of the vent probably wont be large enough. Any suggestions? Pics would be great!


TIA


Craig

I put one rocket next to the ride height selector.


You might be able to get two in there. There is also depth and space in the front side of the center storage compartment.

I would suggest the overhead light panel as a more logical location, but you might have to use smaller switches:

Also, if you change you mind, this panel can be cheaply ($50) replaced.

Yup. That's where I put my in-cabin winch control switch. All my other switches are in the trunk.

This ^. Planning to add small toggle switches for lights here, and move over the sunroof switch or go around it. If it's that cheap then I say why not

What's "in the very near future"? Weeks? Months? Any hints?

That may be the most viable option!

Default Mike up there?

Isn't the mike for the voice commands up behind that overhead light cover and a perhaps second mike for the Bluetooth phone system?
