I am trying to find locations for two things. The first is a switch to turn my amp on and off, the second is another switch to turn my fog lights on and off. I want to put the first under the bottom right corner of my instrument panel. Any ideas are welcome and pictures of past installs are even better.

 

Do you have a center console on your truck?

 

better yet, do you have the overhead with the homelink buttons?? Hammer z71 has a very nice write up on using these buttons to turn on/off foglights wirelessly using a remote.

 

works even better!!!!

 

for tha amp, the power to the dash cig lighter is powered with the key if thats the sort of signal you want

i'm interested in the homelink controls, anyone have the link, i cant find it

 

Here it is:

awsome! also found 1 channel remote relays for $9 on ebay, may beable to use just one homelink button for activation?

 

should. I have two extra buttons so one of them will be for this mod as soon as I get some time.

 

Out of curiosity, What fog lights are you planning to use?

Since every one else seems to have the fog lights covered, I'd just throw out my suggestion of getting the factory headlight switch with the fog light button (seen em on ebay around $20) you've already got all the factory wiring in the truck.


AMP SWITCH
As for the amp switch, I chose to install a military style switch.

I went with the carbon fiber color, and mounted it in the center of the dash where the airbag light is/was. for the install I removed the center dash, then put the factory airbag light assembly behind the dash out of sight. I mad a mounting plate the same size as the hole out of a random piece of plastic... cut the center hole first, then just start trimming to fit.(use a dremel to cut so you don't split it near the hole)

Now instead of an airbag light (which just tells you if the passenger seat is active or not) I have a functional switch that closely matches the dash and gives a slight "trick" look to it.

...also since you didn't ask I'm assuming you know to just switch the remote wire for the amp because its low power and won't require a relay right.

 

looks good and sounds good to what you did!
