Pretty minimally invasive installation with no drilling except for the grommet for the wire through the firewall

Hi, it's tapped to one of the unused fuses under the hood. It's only on when the ignition is on. I did this because the bulk of the wiring harness is up under the hood and that was the closest place to tap. If you look at my underhood pic, you can see a little red wiring entering the side of the fuse box

I like my LightForce panel. Looks like it should be there and Red Arc TBC knob fits in there nicely.

The Tremor package will have a switch bank from the factory. Not sure if Ford plans to sell it as an accessory but I hope so.

Got the same setup. I'm guessing the Tremor setup would at least be available as a replacement part.

Thanks! Do you happen to know which fuse exactly? is it one of the micro fuses because the tap fuse thar they provided is different so i will have to order a micro fuse tap i think
Edit: or since its an unused fuse should i just rig the wire straight to the fuse ?

I think the Tremor has factory/dealer installed light switch cluster for the top of the dash tray thingy, wonder if we can just order that part? Probably a pain in the @$$ and wallet tho...

So I still have my rocker switch box in the console dash cubby, but I added a Feniex 4200 mini controller for my low wattage perimeter rack lighting. I also run my rear rack running and sequential turn signals along these lines (tapped from rear light harness on either side). Its still needs to be finished (ie; made pretty and bundled), but the lines are all pretty much in place. I just need re-run the passenger side to use the quick disconnect box. Some of these pictures a tad old.

The Feniex mini is only a 20amp capable (or 3.5amps over 6 lines; self contained breaker/reset) so I just tapped my add-a-fuse-ignition on line that was already in place for my main box, which is also set behind proper relays and so forth.

Did you ever get your Switch Pros system installed? Can you share pics? Would you recommend the setup from Off-road Alliance?

Where did you tap the light blue wire I to a 12v ignition wire?
Just picked up my kit from SDHQ this afternoon, starting my install tomorrow.
