Finished Product! Because honestly, if I keep at it, I will never stop LOL.

NOTE: Just hanging there in the pics.

Fits everywhere, needs something to stabilize it. Maybe a small command strip in the back or something. Might use a rubber seal...

I get one of my lighting kits tomorrow so I will see what the added weight from a switch will do then.

So I lied, that didn't exactly work out.

However, after more prototyping, and another complete roll of filament, I have a working model. This guy just clips into place over the 12v ports and stays secured there, to remove its a simple pull and it pops right off.

I would like to test it out on another truck to make sure it fits elsewhere. Anyone willing to test it out? You can keep it afterwards.

Hey folks!

First post! Got the Ranger a few months back and just getting started pretty slowly.

So I have been looking around at LED lights for the Ranger and have run into the same problem everyone else has at some point in their build. Where the heck do you put the switches? I know, get the Lightforce panel, but I'm cheap and have a 3d printer...

So out came the calipers and Fusion360 and I have mocked up a first attempt at a printed panel to go in the same place. So here is V1 of my 4 gang lighting bracket. It's running on the printer now so we shall see if the measurements are close enough to work. Then I'll start on more of the "details"

I couldn't find where anyone had actually posted one they had made so I thought I would.

Let me know what you think!
