[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 431865, member: 18789"] Picked up a simple little on-off switch from AutoZone. I like it because it is an oval shaped rocker but it has a circular base on it, so you just drill a 1/2” hole and then it mounts right on. The only downside to this switch is the LED is way too bright, so I think I’m going to leave the indicator ground disconnected and just operate the switches by feel. Most of them I won’t use regularly anyways. I do wish I could come up with a good way to label them though. I could have used fancier switches but most of them require rectangle holes and I really don’t trust myself to try to do that. I wanted nearly a year for this Rinky dink panel to come out of back order, so I’m damn sure not going to screw it up. This is using the 151-01 radio delete panel from tuffy. It’s a universal part, and was too small for YJ dash opening, so I’m using it on the trim panel instead. It works. Gonna do 4 of these switches, and then to the left of the switches will be a 3/4” USB port for me to plug in my iPhone cable. The cable for that port will run across the dash, down the door panel, across passenger seat and up to my radio in the console. It will go to the USB in the backside of my radio. The front face of the radio has a USB that I probably won’t use very often. Since the radio will be right under my arm on the armrest; I don’t want a bunch of cable mess right there. Thinking the switches will be as follows: -backup lights turn on (also automatically turned on by reverse) -fog lights -a-pillar lights (KC drivers) -daytime running light cutoff I’ll share more when I’m done.
