Thanks for pics, for switches at the bottom, why you didn't integrate with the factory? Is it because there no aftermarket swap out?

But what does the "fuck off" button do? :unsure:
Typically turn on rear facing spot/flood lights. Good for people who don't know how to dim their lights or have LEDs in their factory housings....

I may be about to sound dumb, but these aux switches are different from the switches shown on the top of the dash, correct?

Yes, comes standard on Badlands, but optional on others. There are 6 switches overhead between the visors. They are prewired to a box under the hood for easily hooking up lights and accessories.
Ones on top of dash are the "Hero" buttons for lockers, turn assist, traction control...

Gotcha. That’s what I thought, but wanted to make sure I wasn’t confusing myself. Thank you. ??

those auxiliary switches are the same ones used on the SD trucks and the Raptors for 10+ years. No one makes labels for them. Some guys just make their own stick on labels (see below) BUT no one makes them and sells them. Maybe I should? :)

Thanks, for your inputs. This is the information I'm looking. Our design will have the look and feel of switches in cockpit of a airplane. Our design will be a derivative of our high end (industrial applications). We might even looking into a back light panel integrate with our new switches. This will be later because we need to get our hands on the the new Bronco.
Lighting for an add-on switch has always been a trick in my Toyota. Most are unlit, or offer no lighting behind the words. The best of all worlds is to have a limited character set that is backlit so you can locate it easily in all conditions. But then you also need an activation light of some kind to indicate the accessory is activated (and unlit means it's deactivated). I'm hopeful that photos of the under-the-hood electrical gets released eventually, whether it be a standalone bus for all the aux hookups or whatever. If it's factory-built, there must be a hookup box under the hood that is prewired through the firewall to the AUX switch panel in the cabin. Pos/Neg terminals with a number, bang. Should be super easy if they do it right. Then the hard part is yours ;) -- figuring out how to swap switches.

I have a rear FU light on my FJ, too. I have it marked on a switch as "GATLING GUN" while my fogs are "NUCLEAR REACTOR" and my front spots are "MACHINE GUN." This is why so many people love personalizing these switches.

I thinking our design will be 2PDT maybe 4PDT. This will eliminate multiple switches. Of course you can hook up for one circuit. This eliminate clutter of switches. Yes, it will be back light and no hot spot on display. The legend will be interchangeable.

My company is developing a lighted electro-mechanical switches. The switch is design for rubberized applications - UV, IP65, glare management in the display. We can do any colors or make any legends on the display. The design we are developing is for industrial applications. I think we can adapt for aftermarket if there is enough demand. Of course, we will send out some samples to lucky few people on this forums to validate.
Im in!
