So i have underdash neons, some strobes, and glow pedals...i had my switches inside my ashtray so i could open/close it...but sometimes if i pushed the ashtray all the way down some wires would get loose and i'd have to wiggle the ashtray to get them to come on...

so now i am curious where everyone has put there switches for there interior lights. i was thinking of the top part of the center consoel when u flip open the lid, or in that cubby hole, kinda like Kontras, or the secret compartment to the left of the steering wheel, or just above the cup holders where the console starts to slant up...

i have everything wired, but my center console is all taken off etc. so i got wires everywhere, lmao, and its all hooked up to 2 switches, one switch is both 10" underdash neons, the other switch is to the strobes and glow-pedals. im curious as to how all of u have switches and where u placed them.

I also want a push-start button like Kontra...and i was curious if the 'push-start button' from autozone would do the trick...or could i use any button and hook it up to the engine start or whatever...anyways....yeah...so long of a post for a simple question

 

...granted that you are looking at two switches as opposed to one, but...

 

actually if u look right under the pic above there is a change tray... whitelanceres has his switch for his gauges in that... could easily hold 2 and its hidden like you want.

 

i installed a switch for lights in the same place myfirstnewcar did. seems to look pretty good and easy access while driving.

 

yeah i think i saw the pic of the switches in that change tray.

i just got bored of having to dig around for the switch in the ashtray...seemed like a pimp idea at the time, but got to be to much of a hassle...i liked the one guy that put the switches on the top lid of the console...where u flip open the top part and they were there, that was sweet looking. i'd get that whole CF Glovebox thing but thats way to much.

 

I'll get pics of mine - I customized the cubby hole with 4 switches - fogs, under-seat neons, under-car neons, trunk neons

 

Mine its in the hach tray !

 

ozracing, you covered ur air vents...how do u or passengers get there air circulation?

 

yeah i had 2 switches in the ashtray, its nice but i messed up on one of em and it hits the ashtray when i turn it to off, so i was tryin to think of diff. places for em

looks nice though

 

yeah i had a push button switch for each of my amps and one switch for the fans in my amp rack, one for my underbody kit(which still doesnt exist), and one for the neons in my amp rack

 

what are all of u using to have the switches in that cubby hole? and how are u running the wires to them? did u just take out that hole piece (undo the 2 screws on the top of it) and have that huge area to run wires to? and than what are u using to mount the switches to?? i really want to do that cuz it looks awesome !


..AND I wouldn't have to take apart my console if i wanted to change some things, lmao

 

Ur right cause when i put it, the switch was hitting when turn off but now, i remove the bottom of the ash tray and i put a little piece of carbon fiber so with that its ok now. Oh and sorry for my english lol

 

After you take out the cubby hole the pocket unscrews and you've just got the plastic surround i just made up some brackets took a piece of poster board put some carbon (imitation) fiber paper on it put my switches thru it and tadow! although their moving next month cause i'm relocating my radio down there

 

Hahaha thats exacly what i do ! tks, ur english is better than mine

 

sounds sweet!

i think ill go that route as well, use some metallic blue paint instead of CF though, this will be the same time i paint some dash pieces the same blue getting sick of this gray ES interior crap!
