So, my truck (2018 F350) didn’t have upfitter switches. And while I saw a few custom aftermarket ways to do it, I decided to build my own. I didn’t want to make my pu look modified, so I wanted hidden features. So, I purchased a relay/fuse box, built the backing plate to install it where the upfitter relay box went. I 3D printed a switch holder that mounts inside the sunglasses holder (when not needed, can be folded up out of sight).
I also custom printed some clips for my grill mounted strobe lights.

do you have a link for the switch panel? This is a great look/idea. Would you be willing to share the schematics that you printed?

Looks great! Would you be willing to share the stl for those clips? I have 4 similar strobes I have been trying to figure out how to attach without drilling anywhere in the front or rear while still looking good.
Just as an FYI, the Washington State Patrol can ticket you for having red forward facing lights. Amber and White are legal but that's it. I learned this becaase my white LED windshield squirters reflected off the dark blue hood thus catching the WaSPs attention. He slid a piece of white paper between the light and hood surface just to see which color showed back. That was my learning experience.
The switch panel in the glass compartment is indeed cool. Plz share the model file when you get a chance.

my grill lights are white and amber (for flagging equipment or on scene of an accident).
actually PLA cause that’s all I had. If they break, I’ll reprint.
Nice work. I am going to do a test print when my AR grip is done. Then I am going to mess with your file in fusion and see if I can figure something out for the rear strobes. Thanks Again!
