mine did not come with switches..but they will be here tomorrow! I plan on putting on a winch so that will be one of the switches and then I am going to add some more lights to the front.

#4 switch is hooked up to high-idle. #3 switch is hooked up to backup lights on trailer hitch as well. One of my future mods is to install an on-board air compressor and use either switch 1 or 2 for that.

#4 for the floods on the receiver; #3 to the inverter; #2 is a momentary to open/close the garage; #1 opens a cold beer and brings it to me.
Soon, I will have #5. It will flip up the satellite dish and tune to my favorite channel.

I'm new to the F-250, but mine did not come with Upfitter switches. Are all the trucks pre-wired for them? Can I add them relatively easily? I have some aux. lights on the front with the stupid switches that came with the kit and would like to get a factory look with the Upfitter switches. Anyone add these after they bought their truck?

Question re: upfitters for an '08
I have an '08 F-250 that did not come with a factory brake controller or upfitters. I'm told that in order to install an OEM brake controller it's necessary to change out the master cylinder, so I think I'll be sticking with my aftermarket controller. However my local Ford dealer tells me that upfitter switches are not available for my truck because it didn't come with the factory brake controller.
Is it possible to install upfitters in an F-250 that didn't come with a factory brake controller? From all I've read I'm doubting what I was told by the dealer.
