Looking at putting extra led bar lights on my 1533. Was wondering if anyone has mounted a switch panel on a 1533 or 1538. Where's a good place to put it. Anyone have pictures where they put theres at

Wasn't sure if on the front dash or side fender somewhere just looking for ideas

I have a 1538 but haven't added switches. From what I have done I'd be inclined to put them on the dash. Seems under the steering wheel/column would be a good spot. Tap a wire from the ignition switch, the battery and wire that into a relay. From there you can power almost all your current and future needs. The wire from the battery should have a fuse near the battery. The ignition wire you tap should be fused already but you should add a tiny 1-2amp fuse so if something happens on that side it just takes out the added switches and not the machine.
Logistically that lower plastic cover comes off easily so drilling some holes for the round style switches would be easy. The other option is a prefab type bracket that holds the switches.

My fear is the fender is subject to damage from both the top and bottom.

There seems to be plenty of open space above the light switches on the dash. Just get your dremel tool and go to town since it's made of plastic. Cut rectangular openings and use snap in rocker switches or drill round holes and use toggle switches.
