Hey guys I'm looking into putting some switches in the car to control some interior goodies. Just curious to see what others have done as far as switches. Where you put them, what kind of switches you have etc.
To control underglow, or interior glow, or anything other than Air Ride & Nitrous.
Lets see them photos, thanks guys and gals!

I'm working on a switch mount plate that will put those at a better angle (and cover the hole that was already there)
That white wire is gone now... I was in the middle of installing my gauges when I took that pic in April
This is with the monitor down, and the panel on right uncovered.
and this is with everything covered.

Mennetti - wow man I've NEVER seen an interior like that! Wow just awesome man!
Scotty - B - That is an awesom elocation, I never thought of that, I never use that space because everything falls outta it, the only time I ever put something in it was my old flip phone that fit nicely. Damn.
Keep 'em comin guys great work so far.
My camera is dead at the moment, but I'll see if I can get some pictures once she's charged up. Imagine a black box attached to the driver's side of the lower dash with 4 small silver-handled toggle switches in it, and that's it.

here is mine dont mind the mess this is from when it just got stolen this was the aftermath
Yellow - Thats actually pretty good for an install, they almost look stock. Only thing is can you find those switches in Blue (they light up red last I looked), or is there a way to change the led in it ?
Hey Scotty B - Do you have anymore shots closer of yours as to how you mounted them ?
yea they come in red blue green and i think thats it but they are hard to find sometimes. if i see some i will let you know
Can anyone shed some light on how to wire these switches? I was tryin to find a website last night with just a general wiring diagram. Any help is good help.
Yellow - If you do see some blues let me know how much
Thanks man.

The ones in my car have 3 pins... one for the power input, one for power output, one for ground (due to the LED, it needs to be grounded)
So, whatever accessory you are putting in, the power wire will come from the 12v+ source wire (for example, battery) to the input on the switch... then a wire goes from the output (often labeled ACC) to the accessory... the third pin goes to a ground source.
mine are hidden under teh radio bezel....jsut reach under the little cubby and there they are
My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again

Or CSK, maybe even WalMart. That's a pretty standard looking switch among part stores
You can get um from oznium.com and they are pre-wired.

Kardain - I've found the red ones at walmart, gonna look around some more when I get back after next weeks vacation. Still workin on where I wanna put these switches so they look cleanly installed like they came with the car.
Keep the ideas comin guys/gals
All I did was attach all the switches with a strong glue, hook them up and slide them in, the small area below the cd player was snug enough to hold them, its actualy pretty hard to get them out.
I don't have pics at the moment but I have switches mounted overhead between the sunvisors. There's enoug hspace between the headliner and the roof that you can mount switches and have all the wiring above the liner. To mount mine I just cut a thin piece of hardboard, cut the holes for my switches, covered it in material to match the headliner, and mounted it with black screws and a backing plate made of the same hardboard to add strength. The board is only about 1/8" thick so it's not too heavy.
