very nice job man. I've been wanting some switches for my fogs and a place to put a trunk release button.

I think I'll have to adapt your plan so there are 3 switches up there. 2 rockers on the outsides and 1 pushbutton in the middle.



thanks again

Late post, just wanted to give you 5 stars on a great idea and execution! I love it and a fellow alloy to boot! Was the blue tooth factory or aftermarket? The windowed panel is very slick!

Could you post some pics of the panel installed in the car? I'm having trouble deciding if this would look good for me. Thanks

I have similar switches installed in my Ranger for auxiliary lights, fyi my blue leds in the switches are super bright, affect night time vision a bit as your eyes have to deal with the shine inside the vehicle.

Sure thing - finished her up last night - I'm real happy with it

I'll take some better shots at night - looks sick with the foot well lights - overheads - red gauges - my girlfriend even said - it looks mean now ... ha ha

Wiring was a little of a pain fitting all of it up in there - but I got it - just have to cut your wires the right length - notice my fuses - works great - I tried a 5amp for my stock fogs and it blew it - this tells me they work - threw a 10 in it and its fine now - I have a 15 in the first fuse from the battery before I split it - I'm sure I'll have to do some swapping before its all said and done

oh ya - thinking about cutouts ....




First Fuse

Looks awesome my friend. Can you tell me where did you buy your foot well lights from?

I got them from a site that is no longer selling the kit - there wasn't to much special about it really - couple tubes and a switch - there about a foot in length (red) ran to another switch mounted on the center console wall in the driver foot well - I can snap some pics for you if you want

Still haven't drove it at night - took her down the road today about 3miles - love the placement of the panel! I'll let you know if the LED's effect me but I doubt they will.
