UPFITTER SWITCHES

i have not ordered mine yet to put into truck, my question this?? With all the people talking about them are they easy to get things wired to them? If I want to put a set of driving lights on a switch dominhave to feed wires thrombus firewall somewhere or are there existing wires to connect to? I really, really, hate drilling holes in new vehicles. I would like tom add some driving lights tom the front and some lights on the back on a switch so when working on the trailer, etc... The other thing we were dicussing in another thread was puttingbthe rearview camera on a switch? I just want ton know how hard it is to do all of the wiring???

Its not that bad. There are wires in a big bundle coming thru firewall already. Outside is more challenging because they made wires coming thru to short imho. But other than that fairly easy.

I'd go order from Horizon Ford or some other online Ford Dealership that offers discounted prices. You'll get the same part and save some bucks along the way...
You could also print off the listing below and bring it to your dealership and see if they will match the price.
