Additional Switches

I'm planning to install an Alta Light Bar in the near future, and i don't know what to expect when it comes to the switches. Moreover, i was curious about how all of you who have aftermarket lighting, etc... chose to position your switches, what kind you used (full custom panels, toggles, momentaries, etc...) and where you put them. Pix are always a plus. I'm just looking for that little something extra to achieve that custom look.

if you want to make it look nice , you can just order another switch panel with all the switches and use one of the spare ones to turn on your lights. But i dont know if your car already used all the switches already. Steve

I have the Alta light bar with the IPF lights that come with it. I mounted the switch on my dashboard.

What is the best power source for the lights? I have been considering this myself.

i hooked mine up exactly like hella had in the instructions. except instead of pulling power from the factory headlights/foglights to power the switch for the relay i just tapped into a hot circuit in the fuse panel for when the ignition is on.
