Aux Switches what are they used for an is it worth getting as a BB option??

The switches came in handy when I replaced the stock front bumper with a baja one that areas to wire lights

If I do get them, the truck still comes with reading lights..just not the sunglass holder correct?

Correct

I use the 6th switch as a garage opener

Even if you only install one extra set of lights they are absolutely worth the money. If you do the install yourself they will save you from having to run wires and you won't have to mutilate your dash to mount a switch. If you have someone else install your lights it will probably save you close to the $195 in reduced labor cost since they won't have to do the wiring from scratch. It's worth every penny either way.

Not getting the aux switches is the biggest mistake anyone who intends to do some offroading cam make. Use cases

1. Front bumper light bar
2. Ditch lights
3. Additional backup lights (at minimum you will want to upgrade to bright reverse light LEDs)
4. Front and/or rear cameras (because you cannot get a front camera on the BB)
5. Any electrical modification that requires a fuse and a switch up to around 20A

They feel satisfying to click on and off

It’s the only upgrade Ford missed over charging for. Get the switches before they catch on.

It is better to have them and not need them for sub$200 bucks than need them and not have them. I have some driving lights on mine

That's silly. Switches and lights are not needed to off-road. Like plenty of people, I've never had those lights on my 4x4s, and off-roaded just fine.

OP, buy stuff you will use. If you have history of hooking up electrical stuff or legit plan to, then get the switches.

This guy should get the switches, lol:

Omg I didn't see the last sentence you wrote right away and was about to ask you if you off-roaded with that god ugly thing

ha, yeah that's not my pickup. But must confess, I've always had a thing from back in the day, for sports cars with those glowing underbody lights, not sure if that look is still in style today though.

I spent 1600 dollars adding mine after the fact.

Buy them. Resale on it would be well well worth it even if you never use it. That said, a pillar lights are a great add if you ever drive in the dark off road.

I was really hoping this was going to be a "only wrong answers" kinda thing.

 

[old goat]

I got mine on the BB and have never used them . when you look up on the console all those switches look really cool .
I might yet use them for extra lights on my grille .

Get yourself a case for glasses and stick it above the Visor with Alien tape. There's a big gap there begging for something. I used this one:

The magnetic closure keeps anything from bouncing out.

Guarantee you won't miss the factory Glasses holder.
