[QUOTE=Gurt;3836781]These are the ones I was looking for/at except I want them to light up.





The switches you are looking for are made by carling. The tops of the rocker switch interchange so there are different colors and different color of indicator lights. I use them at work all the time. They purchase the switches from www.waytekwire.com

as far as a switch panel, the switches mount in a square hole. carling makes a modular style mount. boats and race cars have mounting panels that would make it more easy to use

I had a local guy who works in plastics cut it for me, then used switch holders to give it a more finished look.

Del City has switches too. The panel looks good, I almost did that to mine but I wanted to be able to put the ash tray back in case I sell the truck with no evidence of my mods.

Here is a pic of how I did my switches. The switches can be had from Oznium.com in several different colors.

Yeah, I don't know why it had a dual head unit but it has never been used. The CD player has only been used a time or two.

Can you explain what you did with the back of that panel? Did you just go at it with a dremel? I'm looking to put something right there in my truck, but not switches.

Just out of curiousity, what do you use your switches for? Is that heated and cooled seats, or Fog lights? Im looking to do a set up like this, one switch for fog lights, another two for cooled seats, if I can figure out a way to add cooled seats to my factory heated seats and not cause any problems.

Mine for the emergency lights will be just like ChopSuey's. One for strobes and one for LEDs.
