bkn Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 yup, a drop light and flash light are much simpilar and probably more practical. But where's the fun in that? like i said before, i'm trying to learn a few things and this is a simple project to serve as a starting point. Thanks to the advice in this thread, I was able to tap into the dome light/radio circuit from the fusebox (downstream from the fuse itself; so no need for another fuse) and wire up a switch to turn on my lights. i'm not quite done yet, i still gotta fasten the lights to the hood and make a cool mount for my switch. That's a good start. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was having a look at it today - but most switches need a 20mm hole to fit into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted May 30, 2012 I Donated Share Posted May 30, 2012 Holy crap! You have a headlight level knob AND a folding mirror switch! Also, that blank is for the "VDC OFF" button, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbtech Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Holy crap! You have a headlight level knob AND a folding mirror switch! I was more interested in the coin tray Had one in my 1990 Legacy. Can't remember if my 03 had it. Want it for my 05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaNu1142 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 I received my pushbutton today... it's a lot smaller than I thought (which is good): http://i.imgur.com/pzbgcl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vq9jml.jpg ...but it should work well. I like the idea that the red ring will light up whenever I'm in reverse. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimberDHexMods Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 What do you guys have running off these switches? Not looking for a hundred replies, just some general uses for this. Think backwards, 1) What does your car power that you might want to mess with? 2) What would you be interested in connecting or disconnecting? 3) What would you like to actuate that you currently cannot? My setup, which will be changed: -I have a kill switch that blacks out all my aftermarket interior displays for things like gauges, radar display, etc. -AFR power switch. I use it if I'm going to be sitting a while with key at ON and engine OFF. -LCD display connector switch. -Green test connector switch. -Various switches for diverting 0-5V sensor signals to a logger or a gauge, etc. Idea being you can have 3 temp senders, and only need one gauge display to show them. Saves money and dash clutter. -Laser jammer kill switch is a good one, though many people are too caught off guard to use it. I don't have one. -'Boom cannon' (epic loud horn for making the world a less happy place for everyone but you to be in). Again, I don't have one. I would however like a switch to use a real cannon on people who think it's okay to use a 140db horn during rush hour. -Some idiots have a switch to kill their brake lights and all tail lights so they can run from the cops. It's safer to just pull over, say nothing, then call your lawyer in the morning. -Plate flipper switch for running yellow lights (which you should never do anyways unless the driver behind you is an idiot on a cell phone and would likely rear end you and get people killed if you stood on the brakes). Would save explaining yourself in court to a judge who is paid by a system that needs all the money it can get. Again, I would not mess with this. Asking for trouble.

stevenva Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 http://www.xkitz.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2 This may trump them all. What this does is eliminate the switch completely. You wave or place your hand over the section and "WA-LA", the circuit becomes active. Selectable output for latched or momentary. "Did you fab up the metal piece the switches are mounted on? If not, where did you get it?"
