Good interior Location for a single auxiliary light switch?

[gmarcucio]

Installed my bumper auxiliary lights today on my Gladiator Rubicon. Now I'm trying to decide where I want to mount the rocker switch inside the interior. I would like it to look like a factory install as much as possible. I don't have the Auxiliary switch bank option on my Rubicon so in its place is a small storage bin. I was thinking about trying to make some sort of front panel that covers the front of the bin and mount the switch inside of the bin? Before I started the project, I figured I would post here and see what clever ideas you guys have come up with. Thanks in advance!

I used a remote control setup to program my home link to control my aux lights. Stashed an actual switch under the dash as well as a backup.

That's a great idea. I have two light levels on my auxiliary lights. One level is like a running light and the other is the full LED array. So, my rocker switch has two positions one for each intensity. Would I have to utilize two HomeLink button for that setup?

And, as PunknJLBlackJT, I programmed the HomeLink buttons to run it.
With this solution, you would need to use two buttons.

The kit I posted I Had to use my two remaining buttons one for on one for off but I know theres other options for remote aux lights. That have more channels.

That's a cool idea, we don't park in the garage, so the Homelink buttons have gone unused on my truck.

I used one of these for another project. It fits well on the left edge under the dash, and leaves room to access the OBD port. I mounted it with some 3M VHB tape, and then a screw to keep it in place.

Something like this might be better, depending on the switch type.
