Auxiliary Switch Panel Idea

[chancyrudd]

Hi folks. I wanted to share where I mounted my auxiliary switches in my truck. I wanted all of my switches especially my horn switch in an easy to access spot. I mounted them right near the center console arm rest and believe it turned out pretty well.

Looks good. I'm long overdue for a Switch Pro's setup or something like this. Care to share some more details?

I just moved my cup holder forward a click leaving a 2.5 gap between it and back of console. Cut a piece of 1/2 mdf to fit in between cup holder and console.

 

I ordered this switch panel mount- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B011KIYT70/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and these switches available in many colors and types- www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L26U1CI/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I cut a hole in the mdf for the switch panel. Wrapped the mdf in black vinyl. Popped the switch panel in and then popped the switches into the panel. Wired them up and mounted to the console with 2 little metal L brackets from underneath.

Funny you say that. As I was finishing up a buddy was in the passenger seat and I said to him, "I wonder how long till I spill my coffee all over them!"

Wow, that turned out great.

I have a 2017 Silverado; can I move my cup holder forward like that? ; I've been afraid to pull to hard on it as I think I heard something about the new one not being moveable anymore; does anyone know.

2016-2017 are not movable.

I'm a little late to this party, my apologies, i'm a new gm owner. dropped the f truck for a bowtie.  how did you run the wires for this setup?? 

[bc-chris]

there is lots of room to run wires under the center console.  pop the trim pieces off and there is lots of access

 

i added glow tubing inside my cup holder for kicks!

That's the first rope light I've seen that matches the Chevy blue interior.  Where did you get it?
