This is how I have my fog lights, but soon I will get a good switch panel to put my lightbar and other lights rocker switches on. This was just a quick diy because I kept accidentally kept hitting the PIAA switch
I wired it into an empty switched fuse. It then goes to the on/off switch then to the in/out switch. That way it can't be accidentally let in or out. As far as the wiring, I had a spare controller that I took apart and wired to the in/out switch that stays plugged into the winch.
ARB switches in the ashtray delete panel. Light bar switch on a factory blank to the left of those.
Winch controls mounted to the left of steering column.
I hooked a circuit bar under the hood and hooked all my switches up and made them all hot so I can add things as needed without ripping out my dash. Used the factory blanks. Bought the switches off eBay.
I removed the ash tray and added a second factory three switch rocker panel. I like the clean factory look and there are some cool switches available on EBay and now I have an extra power outlet! All for 18 bucks and some time on the Dremel tool!

That's what I want to do I saw a video on YouTube and the guy had to cut part of the panel to make it fit where the ash tray was. Was that a problem or was it easy and works out really well?
I bought the whole system. Yes it is kinda high, but it is very worth it. When you add more lights, it makes it easier to wire them. If you would like, I could post more pics in the morning.
Right now, the only light bar I have is this 20 inch on the hood. But when you look at the system under the hood, it's done in a way to make expansion easier. You just mount it, and wire the light to the box under the hood.
All my friends that have LEDs, or KC's have thought about replacing theirs with it.
I've got one being made that I should be getting in a week or so hopefully. It will be like the one in the blueprint below. It will look like the one pictured except the 5 rockers will be moved up a little higher, on the far right there will be winch controls, and the bottom left will include 2 power outlets.
As far as wiring goes I plan to use the bussmann micro relay/fuse box that I've purchased from a guy off ebay. My plan if it will workout is to mount it on my empty ABS tray next to the drivers side firewall.

Had relays and an ARB comp. mounted in that area. Took a beating from weather, mud, dirt and road salt. You would be better off mounting inside to avoid problems down the road. Just my 2 cents.
That's the box for the sPod. It holds up pretty good to mud and water. Lol
