p7363 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 so this is my first post. I want to install my old 20some inches LED on my Edge SEL 2018. finding a location for the switch is quite a project since I want it to look as much as possible OEM. I installed the LED bar on a License Plate Mount I prior purchased on Amazon for 40 some dollars. now, I need to install the switch. I had 3 options but rapidly discarded the setup in the center console since it's too much work to make it look good. Now, I have the options of either on the fuse panel with a quick disconnect on the back or next to the light switch. on the fuse panel, it's easy and can be done quickly but my first option would be next to the switch panel. anyone can tll me how to remove the switch panel ? i felt a clip on the right side of it but I cannot find one on the other side. sorry for the pic, i can only upload 1 pic at the time per post so i chose the one with the location next to the light switch! thanks for your help!

echjohn Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 It probably would help if you removed the panel on the left to gain access to the left side of the light control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hopefully this light bar you plan on installing is legal - there's a couple of vehicles on my morning commute that blind all oncoming drivers with their light bars.

It will be for off road usage only or back roads going to the camp. i know what you mean by drivers who blind others and i am not that type of idiots! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p7363 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 I tried removing the fuse panel cover and pushing the clip on the far right of the light switch. couldn't move the assembly and my fingers got stuck soooo i gave up that setup for now!

p7363 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) i finally decided to put the switch on the fuse panel for now. put a quick disconect in case i needed to remove the panel later. https://ibb.co/z8gpTWshttps://ibb.co/D89GwQMhttps://ibb.co/s3MPqGChttps://ibb.co/mBvkh5Shttps://ibb.co/qrfR4MXhttps://ibb.co/JKX63pd https://ibb.co/yPZ3HnJhttps://ibb.co/YTp849b here's some picture of the switch. not sure if the links work tho, first time in a long time i use that kind of service Edited December 1, 2018 by p7363 added 2 links for the light bar itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 typically a large grommet in the brake booster area under the windshield cowling. might be something useful on the pass side under the PCM connectors as well, but IIRC those tend to be smaller. Because power runs from the BJB to the BCM via the driverside grommet, that one tends to have more room, but you need to seal it properly afterwards whichever one you go with.
