Auxiliary switch location

[Tunnelgas]

I have looked through several threads and have not found exactly what I am looking for.  I am installing strobe lights on my truck for times when I am on our construction sites.  I have a 2018 2500HD Duramax and all of my available switches on the factory bank are being used by factory options.  I have seen where some have used one of the cigarette lighter plugs or even hooked up to one of the homelink buttons to install an auxiliary switch but wanted to see if anyone has used other locations for mounting auxiliary switches.  I do not want to use the homelink buttons nor do I want to use one of the cigarette lighter outlets...any thoughts, photos, threads I have missed, etc.

 

Thanks in advance!

I’ve ran into this problem as well. You can install switches into the overhead near the home link. I have bad shoulders so that’s no good for me. I recently saw a a thread where people installed switches in the door. No super convenient but out of the way NW didn’t look too bad either. Which also had me thinking about putting them on the A pillar and just use small peg style.

Feinix has a few fully integrated set ups that can even stick to your windshield. Xk has a Bluetooth controlled module too. I can’t vouch for the BT unit but I know people that have them set up for their rock lights.

How did you get the plastic part off the ceiling? Just rip it off?

This is the video I did to explain how to add Homelink to the truck, it will show you he to remove upper console from the roof.

I have some in the overhead console. You can fit up to 5 switches in there. I also have some in the dash behind the turn signal. Those are pretty discreet since they’re behind the steering wheel but also easy to hit without looking.

Hey, Mike Vickers,

 

Sorry this is asking you a question from a video you posted long ago.  But you mentioned that you could switch some lights wirelessly using the Home Link system?  How do I know which lights to buy?  They are not bluetooth, correct?  It's some other sort of wireless communication?

 

I would really appreciate the help.  I wonder if there are other truck options that I can add, that can be bought with the same wireless switching?

 

Many thanks, hope you get this,

Pete
