2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Indus Silver

New Puma advice needed.

I picked up a few weeks ago a new to me 2014 Puma.
It is rather nice inside especially compared to my old E Reg 110.

I want to add extra switches for my LED light bar and rear work lights, as well as running the wiring for my Ham radio . Only issue is I'm having trouble finding some thing that looks good and fits nice.

So any ideas with pictures you have would be greatly appreciated.

you can get extra light switches that fit in the switch blanks but are quite expensive as they are genuine landcover parts, or you could go for a raptor pod which fits between the air vent up top and fits carling rocker switches, or you could make your own insert for where your cup holders are to accommodate switches, or mount the switches on the angled wit of the cubby and box them in so not to get damaged.

I've seen the Raptor dash pods, mt concern with them is how easy is it to run the wiring behind the existing dash and into the pod.
I've only had the car a few weeks so trying to keeping it looking factory for as long as possible.

Plenty have done what you are wanting to do, and posted with photos on here - use the search function and have a trawl...there are plenty of good solutions.

You can also get switch panels that fit in the blank areas on either side of the centre panel of the dash. Options vary from a two-switch unit (see here) to a full multi-switch panel (like this).

I like the two switch unit, that looks neat, where do you get the switches from? Can you get different designs so its easy to tell what each switch does.

Easiest solution is to buy the heated seat switches and some switch blanks to engrave your own symbols. They can be wired to light up with dash lights. I run LED work lights through these without any relays.

Apologies for a link to the competition!
