Hi All
Before I look to fab up something myself, any ideas on mounting options for front auxillary lights? Would rather something mount behind the grill than drill holes in the bumper.
Also any comment/reviews on LED light options welcome. Looking for something round.
Finally where do you mount your cabin switches?
Thanks in advance

I knew I was mounting more lights in the future so went with a generic switch-pod as seen in my post:

Take a look at this thread for mounting behind the grill. https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/diy-grill-light-bracket-and-lights.40068/page-8
And if you want giant knock-off ARB spots:

An older 30" Baja Designs OnX fits perfectly behind the grill. I mounted my 6 gang switch panel where the ash tray was.

Don't worry the switch panel sits flush without movement. Just couldn't find a picture of it on my phone.

Hey djkaosone, sorry if I', just missing it, but what switch panel did you go with there? Is the fit as good as it looks?

Looks great. But I have to ask. What’s the CAT5 all about?
I run a 4 awg wire through the rubber grommet on the firewall for my aux battery to a fuse box in the rear quarter panels for accessories inside cabin on individual switches. I have another fuse/relay box next to the aux battery to power all my external lights that are switched through the rocker switch panel above the terrain response. There's no room to run 6x 18 awg wires through the same grommet between the fuse/relay box in the engine bay to the rocker switch panel inside. The Cat5 is merely the non-loaded +12V signal from the switch panel to the fuse/relays in the engine bay.

Cat5 is more than enough for the rocker switches to give a +12V signal to the relays, and the relays provide a +12V load.
