Default Headlight Switch Relocated

I am a trucker and anyone who drives a rig knows most of them had the headlight switch on the right of the steering wheel.

well after getting tired of reaching over to the right for it after getting out of my rig i decided to put that bish over there.

It has an auto setting, why would you ever touch it?

+1. The only times I've used my headlight switch since I got the truck 3 years ago was to test my headlights when I upgraded to HIDs.

I like to control them too, that auto switch sometimes has a mind of its own... Nice mod looks clean, and every trucker would like it I'm sure...

I really like this mod and am planning on doing it. Did the wiring reach or did you have to extend them?
