Aux Light Switch Placement

I need to mount about 10 switches for my aux lights, air compressor, fuel transfer pump, ect.

I want them clustered together. My last truck (F-250 PSD) had one of those visor shelfs and I drilled holes in that and installed the toggle switches pointing down. Worked good. My 01 has the overhead lights and read out display so I can't do a visor shelf.

Anyone do anything like this? I've spent hours in the truck just looking where to mount them. So far all I came up with is to see if I can put them in the sunglasses holder on the roof.

I even considered putting them on the forward part of the door. But I'll catch the toggles with something and destroy them.

BTW I'm using the Pollak white (off)/red (on) types. The toggle is clear so it glows white then red when flipped.

Thanks
