Awesome thread! Why did people stop putting into this? Heres my switches in my 97 Explorer XLT

i like that. looks clean and factory. not all hacked up like some of the other stuff posted in this thread.

I,m thinking I like the overhead in the garage door opener spot too. I will probably fill in the factory slot in that panael with some epoxy first though. I was considering re-making the door/cover, but that's allot of work when it can look that good without having to go that far.

Good work man!

I am making another back plate to try again to make all the switches line up straight. Its all part of my roof rack lighting project im struggling with. If anyone needs any additional pictures or questions just let me know.

^^ We have a winner!

Thanks man, all my wiring is currently a work in progress, hope to have it all done soon.

 

[Jstcruz]

Cool idea! I like that

 

[bronchole]

Agreed, a true winner there. i will be doing mine in a simmilar manner.

If you choose not to make a plate to black out the back of the overhead console. (Under the switches) there is a moulding line that you can follow for your switches To try and keep it all straight.
The back plate i am using is a two tone plastic made for engraving, i planned on engraving the purposes of the switches but because i used the aircraft style switches i had to push them up so the lid would shut all the way. If you use any other style switch you would be able to engrave the plate. It sucks because it would have given that "aircraft" look.

Now that's a true "James Bond Mod" !!

Love it!

Thanks again, the three middle switches will control the 6 lighted on the roof rack, and the two on the sides will be fog lights and auxiliary lights (on the grill guard)

That is pretty cool Mustang, nice and discreet. what are your switches connected to?

Thanks, Left is to override the fog light shutoff when the high beams are on, and the right will soon control a 40" LED light bar on the roof.

Just added this for some headlight accents I will be adding. It has a blue "on" indicator led on it.

I really like switches... I probably have about 35 switches in the truck that are aftermarket.. 12 are mounted here! i modified a aftermarket console with a piece of billet aluminum and went to town with my engraving machine...

under the steering wheel on the flat plastic piece. there are 4 more switches. (push to start, master console panel switch, front winch on, rear winch on)
on the gauge pod i made there are 2 little switches, (electric fan, water-oil temp switch)

i also have each amp in the back switched so i can turn on and off the Sub amp, and i can turn on and off the wakeboard tower speakers on the cage in the rear(field party speakers)

other than that, i have random switches in diffrent spots for diffrent things.. theres about 6 in the toolbox for diffrent stuff..(air sytsem, inverter, bed lights, toolbox lights, on board welder on/off, ect...)

I really like being able to turn on and off everything!!!!
