switches!

[etlsport]

just curious, where do you put your switches for aftermarket lights, accessories and whatever else requires switches? pics encouraged!

I put my front rally fog lights switch on the extra switch on the center consol area, and melted a hole just big enought to fit the aftermarket switch. I used a soddering gun to melt the hole, and niow it looks like it came with the sitch from the factory. 1 of the pictures is from the inside.

I used Moncha guide when I installed the Hella Micro DE fog lights and then I added the PIAA series 2100 driving lights. I used 2 OEM fog light switches that Merlin supplied from St. Charles and installed then in the top of the dash for a factory look. Next project is to move the mirror heater switch to the bottom position where the blank switch is.

Not sure why when you click on my photos nothing happens?

You most likely posted only thumbnails instead of a thumbnail that opens to full size. ;)

For two of my sets of fog/driving lights I mounted the little "tap switch" that came with the lights to the front side of my shifter with some double stick tape...
Now that I'm used to them being there, it's rare that I hit them by accident.

Thanks Ldub, thought I did it the same as all the other photo's I've uploaded. Will play with it.

I have my switches for my 4 offroad lights up on the roof basket wired in using a four button "tape" switch setup I got from autozone. I used the dremel to put an extremely thin slice into the back of the fuzzy hole panel and the "switches" are adhered inside the top of the fuzzy hole, leaving me with 100% use of the fuzzy hole still. The switches are all but invisible, and if you didn't know they were there already, you never would. I'd post up some pictures, but honestly you really wouldn't see anything even then.
