If you have a center console, you can do what I did in my BII.

I also added 3 switches up in front of the message center.

My solution to an overhead clock that didn't want to cooperate with the program:

I put mine in the ashtray.

I installed small rocker switches in the dash trim panel to the left of
the steering column.

The steel behind that trim between the column and the headlight switch is
cut out for clearance for the Bronco2's rear wiper/washer control

If you get the small 1/2" by 3/4" rocker switches you can fit three side by side.

I'd recommend against toggle switches in that location because in a front end collision that's where your left knee winds up...

Anything sticking out can really hurt.

Fan,Fuel pump.Power to push button start.I think the console came out of a jeep?

Lights are in pairs where the AC vent was.

I got the switches and the switch trim rings from www.genuinedealz.com

They are great. I would recommend them to anyone.

I don't run A/C, so I used the dual vent area above the radio. I used plexiglass that I got at Lowes, then painted them with wrinkle finish paint from O'Reilly's:

I used the textured plastic from the top of a dead VCR to make a place to put lights in my F-150.

If you haven't got the sw's yet don't get them at Rat Shaq.
They work and if there is one you like then go for it but usually Rat Shaq is low cost junk.

Look on the Web, Del City, or others.
Flip Sw's, HD with covers were less then $5/ea, buy them at Rat Shaq and you will pay more, maybe twice that and not get a quality sw.

Just my Opinion, so weight it with a grain of salt and buy what you like.

Boating Supply websites are a great place to find really good switches and fully built panels at a fair price.
