And I think they look great! Radio Shack switches (many others have used them on thier trucks) with part number 275-731. The red LED isn't too bright and reminds me if I use my lights during the day that thier still on and sucking down your battery stupid...

Also because this compartment normally holds the garage door opener I placed a few rubber feet above the latch so that it would not more when pressed on. You could still put a small garage door opener in thier if you wanted but this truck hasn't seen the inside of a garage nor will it ever at almost 7 feet tall.

 

Oh yea and this is what the switches are powering...

The PIAA driving lights


and the Hella AUX backup lights

 

Looks good!

Was it much trouble to fish the wires up overhead?

 

Those look really good dcovell!! Nice job.

I ran some multiple conductor wire and had to drill one hole though the firewall as all my wiring under the hood was on the passenger side. I need 3 conductor for each switch and they can share a common hot with the PIAA relays.

With you own relays you could share a common hot and ground. Then you just have a switched hot back to the relay to power it.

I have disconnects in the compartment in case I need to remove the switches.
The hardest part about running those wires was driling the hole right next to where the computer pokes though the firewall. I had to take down a part of the roof as well but that was not that hard.

 

Thanks!

 

looks good,i put mine inside!

 

I did mine like this....I like how you did yours!

 

Wow, nice find on the thread, almost 2 years old....

 

where did you get the valance for those HUGE lights dude. lemme know cause im looking for a valance like that

 

That is the PIAA airdam. Not sure if they are still made, I had one on my 2001.

The outside positions hold the PIAA 520 lamps, the inside are PIAA 510 lamps.
