Hey Bronco Nation. Its been a while since I dropped the original Auxiliary Retrofit DIY - How To write-up, almost four years ago. Since that time, there's been a lot of solutions that have hit the aftermarket. A few of you have asked for some help, or brought up some great alternatives and I thought it useful to share that information with the broader community.

First, Ford Performance just released a kit for installing Auxiliary switches thats a bit easier than the retrofit route. Downside is you're only getting 4 switches vs the factory 6 setup. It also looks a little incomplete, IMO.

Hunting around for alternatives, I found these very similar, OEM style Auxiliary switch kits on Amazon that give you the factory look while avoiding headache messing with the factory installed BCM-C under the hood. Much easier than the retrofit, less expensive than the Ford option, and they give you 6 like off the assembly line vs the Ford Performance kit that's only 4.

I also know there's a bunch of diehard Auxbeam fans who swear by theirs and the ability to customize the buttons. For the money they offer a similar solution at a fraction of the price, with drilling to mount the touchpad as the main downside. Plus they're on sale right now, making them a very attractive option.

In the case with all of these solutions, they are a bit more straight forward vs the more expensive OEM part swap option.

Have you needed to do a retrofit to your Bronco's setup? If you have some words of wisdom drop those in the thread below. I'd love to hear what worked for your personal build.

Bit pricey, but the Diode Dynamics D-Switch is really nice.
Haven't put one in a Bronco yet, but on an F350, it's working pretty well.

I went with the hanspilot up fitter switches for $320. Install was simple and they work great and look factory.

I have no idea why the Ford Performance option went with only 4 switches... they didn't even center them and left the blank where the other 2 switches would have went.

also, didn't they change the name to Ford Racing, or are they keeping the Performance name?

Sounds like they still have a bit of an identity crisis.

I did a 6 when I bought mine. Still waiting on lights to arrive so I haven’t installed.

Yeah, I'm sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out the reasoning behind the four switches versus six, and my OCD is freaking out because of the spacing....

Oh, it's Ford Racing again, as of a few weeks ago.
