A quick review on the parts I used and hopefully tips if you are taking on this fairly easy install. I did need some extra wire for the wiring harness to reach the A post. Check out the videos for install help if this is your first time. It was for me. I hooked the rocker switch to the dash lights, had to remove most of the dash to get this done but looks really good and the light dims with the dash lights. See this video: (...). Well worth the time in my opinion.

In review, all of these parts worked very well but a few small negatives. Make sure to have a little extra wire handy. The rocker switch that comes with the wiring harness can be replaced as a unit easily but not just the faceplate. I found that Otrattw switches are more customizable and are a very good quality. They can also be designed in landscape so that they look better in the pillar.
Hopefully this is helpful!

I ended up using a combination of a Dremel tool with cut-off wheel and a heavy duty utility knife to cut through the plastic. Though the edges weren't perfect when I was done, once the switches were installed, everything looked clean and professional. With the aid of a bench vice, total cutting and switch fitting probably took about 45 min.
Note, the switches shown are NOT included as part of this version. (The switches were from the Apollointech kit.)

On the first hole my cuts went a little wonky so the first switch doesn't fit snugly, the others cut perfectly once I learned how to best cut them -- it just bothers me that I have to find a way to secure that first switch so that it stays in place. Also, I needed to do a little trimming around the edges to get everything to settle in nicely in the trim in the A-pillar, but I figured that would be the case with an aftermarket piece. Finish wise, it's pretty close to OEM, but not quite. It's not enough to trigger my OCD but it's noticeable.
I called them- their concern was I didn't buy it from them my concern was getting the correct part! In short they said send pictures will make a recommendation, a few hours later I called asking if they had received the pictures, NO email was received so I sent it again and again I tried to follow up with another call, this time a rude lady person transferred me to a number that would not get answered just ring and ring..., four times this happened, mid sentence she would just transfer me to another person. End of day now and I did receive an email stating they will make contact in 7 to 10 days!!!! I JUST WANT HELP BUYING THE RIGHT PART! I'm now a happy Jeep owner with a bad experience...thanks Rugged Ridge! (Love the Jeep)
The one star was for the nice box it came in.
Note: I ended up purchasing an overhead 6-switch by Apollointch Pod Panel with control and relay box. I'm scheduled to receive it in a couple of days... thank you Amazon :)
Update: Apollointch Pod Panel is the way go! 150.00 isn't much when you consider cutting slots for switches running wires into the cab. with the Apollointch you run 1 wire and all of the switches are already installed in the panel and ready to go. (the only down side is the center from locking latch doesn't close completely, but works just fine). The Apollointech Wrangler JK & JKU 2007-2018 Overhead 6-Switch Pod/Panel has easy instructions, making it so easy it was actually fun! After the relay switch box under the hood and switch panel is installed in the cab, all you need to do is run the hot and ground wires from all your lights to the main under the hood panel.

Cons: very hard to cut out the switch windows. using heavy duty utility knife with extreme caution. wish they made them with snap on/off tabs instead.
