Default Auxiliary switch locations - where to put?

I have recently purchased a MY19 Trailhawk and am looking to a switch panel for a light bars, trailer brake etc.

There are no blank switch locations available on any of the instrument cluster so I will need to add a switch block somewhere.

Looking to get ideas from others on where you located any additional switches.

I am thinking down near the headlight/ fuel cluster but open to suggestions.

Any photos would be awesome

That's usually where the control button for a Redarc brake controller would be fitted (depending on what BC you'll be putting in of course). IMHO it's probably the best area to locate aux switches in general.

I am currently waiting on my trailhawk to come and am starting to think about switch placement s also. From pics I think near the light switch seem to be one of the better places but won't know till my baby shows up. Let us know where you place yours.

@timgpz will do.

Lots of bits going in in the next week or so.

Doing a bit more research there are 2 vacant switch spots on the rearview mirror, this is where the US model has the homelink buttons.
This would be the absolute best spot to reuse but I think the difficulty level is very high.

I am 90% sure I will locate next to the headlight switch.

From cost, ease and practicality it is the logical location
