We recently traded our 2022 Bronco Outerbanks for a 2023 Outerbanks, however the new Bronco has the factory auxiliary switches in the overhead console. Does anyone know if these switches can be removed and the standard factory sunglasses holder be installed in their place? This is my wife's car and she has no desire to add accessories that would need the switches, she would like the sunglasses holder.

Wouldn't it be a lot less work to buy a visor clip off of amazon?

I am using this in addition to a few other things. Just watch it with the top off.

It is 100% possible, but you'll have to start tearing apart trim pieces, which is time consuming and you risk breaking cheap plastic clips. Not an easy swap.

On my OB, I just picked up this sunglass holder from Amazon, took off the clip and used Velcro to attached it to the switch housing just above the switches. Worked great. Way less expensive than removing the switches and won't devalue your Bronco. Here's the link: Screenshot 2023-06-07 091325.jpg

When i ordered my Bronco, I ordered the auxiliary switches because I thought I might add lights AND to improve eventual resale value…. In my world its worth having them even if not currently used

While you're at it, if you remove the passenger airbag, you could probably fit another cup holder.

This right here! I bought the Bronco I have always wanted. My wife drives it daily. We even picked it up on her 50th Birthday and she has been driving it ever since. Looks like I need to find myself a Bronco. LOL

Don't listen to all these Nancy's around here.. you should swap out the switches for the sunglass holder. And luckily for you, my brother in law would be willing to make the swap! 😁

If I were you I would keep it BUT if you really want the sunglasses holder I would gladly trade you mine for your switches.

Take the airbag and put it under the pass seat, wire it to one of the switches, voila ejector seat.
