Default WK2 Dash Switches
Any ideas on where I could source a switch to fit in here?



Planing on having the driving lights switch here instead of putting it next to the fuel tank button.

Cheers

Wow, way back in 2012 I saw a post on Jeepgarage as I recall where a guy in the US had added extra electrical items and faced the same issue.
At that time there wasn't anything available to directly match the existing array.
What he did was to pull the existing bank out and modify his spare spaces to take aftermarket touch switches - turned out a great looking job.
Try as I might I can't now find the post - but if you are a bit handy it might give you some thoughts.
Alternativel search Google for the Mopar part number 56046291AB - this is the 5 gang switch panel. Best of luck if you go to your local Jeep dealer…...

I was looking to put my Llams switch there but after pulling the stereo surround off and looking there. There is no actual space behind there as the climate controls are all on one board. I didn't go the the extent of pulling the climate control apart to see but it may be possible as long as the switch doesn't have a long body. Hopefully fit my Llams soon so will take a pic

I faced this same problem when I had my light bar installed. I even considered the roof console but after pulling that apart it's chocked full of circuit boards.

I ended up putting the switch on the inside of the pop open flap under the heater etc. controls. Very easy to mount there and nothing to interfere with.

Hopefully this photo shows where I have mounted it.

Slightly off-topic, I don't think that's a picture of your MY14. Check out those rotating knobs - they're quite thick which I've noticed is a slight tweak in the upcoming MY17...
