A spot for my switches, What do you Think??

Well I'm looking at adding a few different items to my pickup.
I have a set of hella 500's that are going to go in the grill.
An old mechanical siren to go in between them.
And some lights that I want to put on the back bumper.

I am looking for a spot to mount a few switches.
I was going to use the spot where the cigarette lighter, But I am planning to put in heated seats. I was going to use that spot for the switches on the heated seats. Like this:


(Thank you rms8 for letting me borrow this pic)

I like that look for those switches on the seats.

So I was thinking of doing this. Its just a photo shop of what I want.
The switches will be 3/4 in Diameter. And have the Green LED on when the component is on.

Far left will be On/Off For the lights
Middle is Momentary On/Off for the Siren
Right is going to be an On/Off/On. For the rear lights (Top on is for when I want them to come on with the swich, then Off, Then on for coming on automatically when I put the truck in reverse.

What do you think of this design?

Looks pretty good. I have my switch for my Hella's right where rms8 has his and its stealthy. No one even knows theyre there. With your spot you just need to make sure you dont accidentally press one down when you go to put a drink into the cupholder

Seems like a good spot. When I was going to wire up some aux lights, I was looking at the empty space around the headlight switch. There seemed to be room for what I need, and it would keep all the light controls together. Since you have multiple switches, that seems like a good place.
