DIY: Console Switch Panel **PICS**
Hey guys,
I'm putting a switch panel in the stang and thought I'd snap some pics for you all to take a look at.
This is just the beginning of the project. I'm going to complete the wiring process, install some LED map lights, and replace the stock overhead bulbs with Red LED's. I'll update a little later with the final result.
Completed Panel
Tools
Flathead Screwdriver - Small
Drill
File
3/4 drill bit if you can - if not go small and use the file, be patient
Wire tie
5 switchs
Remove Console
Remove Blue Tooth
Drill hole here
I never use my BTooth so its no bother to me to remove it
Easiest way to remove these suckers - notice which hole my driver is in
Before
Switch's Used: Rocket Panel Switch from Auto Zone
I put in 5 switch's you could fit 6 but I prefer 5 - Drill hole in center
Drill outside hole
Start small you can always work it out with the drill bit and file
Wire ties help keep your wires back - RECOMMENDED
Almost there
Finally
And a pic for the day
Hope you like

Factory fog light switch broke so that will probably be one - I'm adding a lower grill with fogs in it so there's another, I also have a spot for PIAA fogs as well so there's another, I have some red and blue strobes in the front as well as foot well lights so .... ya mainly for lights but not any of those gay under glow ones
This was more of an idea than for everyone than anything, I know we all can drill a whole but some out there like a little more guidance than others. Thanks for lookin!

Great Idea. Always love to see those out of the box things people do. I personally like the SOS cupholder switches like TacoBill has (http://www.speedofsoundllc.com/05%2B...%20panels.html)

They do look nice. I would definitely consider this location and specific switch if I decided I needed it for something, but I wouldn't use a switch for the trunk, I'd use a button.
I tend to have a drink with me sometimes so I couldn't go with the cup holder switch style. Maybe if it was a dedicated track car.
