Anyway, to that extent, I am trying to picture what all may need a switch and where etc.

So, the picture below is the new dash I have incoming from ebay. Now, while I wished it had a flat dash and no holes at all, it already has a spot, I assume, for the key and maybe a battery meter. Not a huge deal, that can work....I will just match the fascia to whatever I get.

I figure, the stereo needs a direct wire as a switch would probably lose the channel stations.

1 - switch for the under carriage lights
1 switch for the possible fog lights?
1 switch for maybe an accessory outlet

I was going to add some lights on the roof, they would not need to be on all the time, but it is sometimes nice out in the country to see what is to the side...that can go on a switch.

What else might I be missing? Not sure there is anything electrical I would really need heh... but you all are the experts ;)

Depending on what type of key switch you have you might be able to use the key positions as a switch too.

The key switch I have is the Off/On/On style that came with factory headlights (I believe). I wired the switch to have a "accessory" position similar to a car. So when you go to the first "ON" position, it turns on my voltage reducer which runs all my 12v stuff (amp, speakers, underbody lights, headlights). The second "ON" position puts power to the rest of the cart so I can drive it around.

As for other switches, Not sure you will need any additional ones.

One thing that would be good is having a fuse block coming off your voltage reducer (if you are going to have one) so you can wire all your accessories to fused power.

This is the one I have it has power and ground in the same block:
