You can buy the switch from Ford and may already have the power to it in the existing harness, run the wires from the switch inside the fender well and there may even be holes at the very top that you can reach through the tail light opening so the wires remain hidden.
Not real crazy about drilling into my box. I do have the cutouts for the factory LED lighting. Would like to stay with something similar. But thanks for the ideas...
