Hated having the switch for my underglow down at the bottom of the dash and decided to make a switch in place of the rear wiper button.
Used a face plate from a Silverado with and cut out a hole for a simple aftermarket switch. Used the same insides of our switch but gutted out the wiper button to make room for the different switch. I over cut the hole slightly you can see in the pics but it's not too bad and I can love with it. Later I'll grab another face plate and play with it more .View attachment 185085 View attachment 185086 View attachment 185087 View attachment 185088 View attachment 185089

That's basically what I did on mine. However, my truck still has the rear wiper but I had to drill the bottom part of that switch and add a rocker switch since my truck didn't come with fogs from the factory. But at least the rocker switch has blue LEDs to match my blue LEDs in the rest of my switches.

Haven't you guys noticed the pattern? Alaska gets dark and his lighting mods start getting active. Which BTW look really cool.
Even for a blue Tahoe...:eek:
I guess subconsciously when we lose daylight here i try and take advantage of the long darkness and make it a little more fun lol

Speaking of lights, found a 3rd brake light from a EXT. Got it home to find out it doesn't fit. These have the same lens but the housing is deeper compared to the regular suv escalade. Thought about fabricating to make it work but I'm at a lost of how I would do it without major work.
So fyi everyone on here the truck lights do not fit suvs. Don't make the same mistake I did :banghead:20171008_100808.jpg 20171008_094118.jpg 20171008_094112.jpg
