hey guys, i wanted to know if you could post some pix of how you guys setup your switches for lights or electronics or anything for that matter. i'm thinking of putting some more lights in my car, and i like to have individual switches for my lights, not just one main one, so i wanted to know how you guys setup yours, cuz im kinda getting irritated with my setup right now, i just drilled a couple small holes right under the steeringwheel, to the right, and it just doesnt look very nice. so lets see 'em.

I have one switch with an led in it to control my UB neon kit and I mounted it inbetween the fog light switch and the mirror controls, came out real good no pics of it though, it looks like it came from the factory there. I also have a switch for my wig wag light kit and another for my strobe light kit and those 2 switches are just on the center of my console right now above the ashtray. I have to pick up new switches for those and then decide where to mount them. I was thinking along the drivers side on the side of the console but in the under dash area. I like them to be hidden but accessible

right now i have a row of three of these kinds of switches:

but on my friends truck, we installed these kind:

and i think his look alot cleaner, but they also take up more space.


i have also thought about maybe making some sort of panel that will have all the switches on them, maybe keeping it in the empy DIN or making a place for it somewhere below the dash.


anyone else, any pix?

I have one similar to the bottom one you posted that is what controls my neons
the other 2 are black plastic switches
I want to get just 2 lil ones like the metal switch you have a pic of
the only thing is well the lit switches you need to ground the switch for the light, and the unlit switches they way I have mine I just can't tell if the accessory is on or not

I don't have a pic of them but since I don't have a glovebox I took all my switches and mounted them in the glove box. The power switches for all my extra lights are enclosed in a project box I got at radio shack. Another project box holds the power switches for my amp power wire, camera and playstation.

NOS is always on the left... Hit the NOS with your left thumb cause your right hand is on the shifter
