Upfitter Switch Alternative Options

[WillieFlo]

Alright, I’ve said it before, my opinion is that the upfitter switches on the Gen 1 are much more noticeable than on my Gen 2. It annoys me that they’re not in a more direct forward view when you’re driving and faintly lit.

My problem arises because I turn my rear facing Rigid floods on when I back into the garage at night(since OEM backup lights are worthless), and every once in a while I drive the next day with them on until I realize they are lit. I’m interested in other more noticeable switches that are visibly more distinct in notifying you when a switch is on, and don’t want to clutter up my dash. I know SwitchPros has some good options, but their website is down for maintenance.

Any photos of your custom retrofits will be appreciated. I’m good staying with 6-8 buttons max in the same location, if it will just get my attention better than the faint Teal Blue and Amber differentiator colors of the OEM switches. A vertical lit panel facing the driver would be better in that location. I also don’t want to pay someone to reroute all the upfitter switch wiring

THANKS!

Holy crap, I should have known someone made something like this! I found exactly what I was looking for at Swarfworx......

Why not just use the reverse light circuit to trigger your rear lights, or wire an idiot light into that circuit so you don't forget?

i thought about tying ‘em into the reverse lights, but I prefer having them switch controlled because I use them at the ranch a lot, and when I’m pulling my trailer. They come in handy.

I need to check into this with someone like Brave Motorsports locally then. I hear they do great work. Although I know I’ll probably walk out wanting more than just that.....looking at a KC M-Rack with side lights as well recently. I figure that’s better money spent than on the Morimoto XB’s......will likely be following with OnX6 50” Arced on it.‍

Yup! I had my s2 pros wired into my reverse light and outfitter.

map I can toggle them in with switch 6 if I’m not in reverse or once the truck is in reverse they turn on.

@4x4TruckLEDs.com is where I got mine and wiring harness.
