    You can always mount the switches directly to your A pillar:

    Drill the appropriate sized hole, and plug them in. Save some money, and looks less "stuck on"

    I agree. My pillars have zippered sleeves on them so I will take them off and see what we have. I like the idea of placing the switch on the pillar.

    Let me know if you need any wiring, or switches. My offer still stands to throw whatever in a box and send it to ya if needed.

    Thanks for the offer! At this point I don't think I will need anything. I have crimp connectors etc and got the switch so I should be good to go. Will let you know if there is anything else.

    OK, finally have a picture of the finished project. I didn't do the best job cutting the hole in the pillar cover but what the hey, it works. As it turns out someone took out the original switch. Thanks to help here, and happening to find a picture of switches in the pillar I have it done nice enough.

    Good job! Replacement plastic pillar is less than $30 if plans change. I think the previous owner had a Spod-type switch system that was removed prior to resale but thats in the past. Enjoy your light bar!
