Thumbs up Cool Driving Light Switch

Check this out....I found these on a cool website that has all kinds of switches. I think I found the link on a thread here somewhere.

I was wondering how big a mounting hole those switches needed, got some photos of it in the dash?

I will post some pics in the dash today. That particular switch is about 1" by 2" or so...You can see where I marked it out in the first pic on the panel. I then drilled it out around the sides and trimmed away the excess. I wanted to make it nice and snug. I bought some new wire as well, so I am doing that when I get home from work today. Daylight is our friend.....

I will post some pics of the finished product today. I just like the fact that the light switches are labled. If you look at the site, there are all kinds available. They also seem to be of higher quality than the ones at AutoZone, etc....
