Just bought a couple of lighted round rocker switches, I was plannin on puttin them in my 97 Cavy, to use on my new LEDS and cathodes, but I don't know hwere would be good to place the switches... I have no ideas flowing rite now...


Any help???
I wanted to do somethign different than dash, cuz everyone has switches by the steering wheell




so any ideas will be very helpful

Thanx

If you have an aftermarket radio you can put them in the little open area right under your headunit, switches fit in there really good. Ive seen people put them in the center console arm rest area, on the doors, on the power window panel. Take your pick the options are endless.

i've also seen people put a switch panel on their ceiling, kinda like a jet would have (i would guess, never really been in a cockpit before) you can also put them on the side of the console (where i used to have them) or where ever you feel like you want them. you can hide them in the console or under the dash or in the glove box. you can stick them pretty much anywhere you want

I put my switches on the side of the center console by the shifter. I am in the process of putting an overhead console in the car and then i am moving my switches up there. but I have enough leds, that i might keep the ones in the console too.

do u like have a switch for each led??

right now i got 2 neons under my dash, on 1 switch and then i'll put more in and keep em in sets of 2 on a switch

i just got a cool 4 channel remote for my underbodys and strobes

No, I'm wiring about 30 Ultra Bright LEDs, and 4 cold cathodes right now. I ordered about 4 more cathodes that will come in in a while, and some more LEDS too...

Just remember that you can use a nickel for a template on those.

And I THINK its a 3/4" spade bit for the drilling, but double-check.

Make sure you use good separation for the 2 tiny connecting posts on teh back that power the LED inside the switch. If they touch for even a SECONG, it will ruin the switch. I went through a couple of those...

Best thing to do is buy the smallest shrinkwrap tubing you can find and seal the connections really good.

Email me if you have any questions about wiring these things, I have a ton of them in my car.

i have a total of 8 cathodes in my car

and about..

umm..


50 +- Leds thru out

I'll get there soon, hopefully, if my pocket holds.... But umm, yeah, I've wired all the leds already, I just have to put them in the car, and wire them in to the + and -. I got 6 already in, but im nowhere finished, so.... yup
