[-Dab-of-Oppo-]

£15-20 a piece is the going rate for the led symbol ones I am going for. I am also adding a few extra ones set flush into a custom carbon wrapped panel for the radiator fan etc.

The pin blocks are not plugged on the backs in my other photos. They are basically a two in one push to make eah side, like this -

really nice.. but really expensive

Those are also the same switches as used for the starter button. They sell one with "Start" engraved in it - but not bothered with the light on mine. Looks good with all the switches in the same style. There's a thought, why not move the start button to the panel and cover over the old button (it would reflect in the rear view mirror if lit up anyway)

[-Dab-of-Oppo-]

I have a Savage start button in the same style as my switches, I did think of moving it but like the original position. I have it illuminated on a timed fade out when the doors are closed, so no worry of it being a distraction when driving. It does reflect sunlight REALLY badly though, I have been dazzled by it a few times now, I think I would have to put tape over it when on a track day.

just on the hunt for switch wiring, as one of my switches has gone still and two others no longer have lights on them. all i want to do is bung some toggle switches in there. is this a tricky job or am i over thinking it?

Very easy (I did it ), the hazard switch is a small pain in the bum but not the end of the world.

cool beans, i will just MTFU and give it a go then!

[-Dab-of-Oppo-]

I made a note of all the colour combinations in previous PM's to a few people I will try and dig them out and forward them onto you.
Youll probably want to make a few of the wires redundant and tap them off as toggle switches may not utilise the conditional wires and 2 stage illumination.

I noticed this on ebay earlier actually. Bit pricy for what it is but might be a handy ready made starting point for you to tidy up a bit?

I've done the 4 light switches but the Hazzard switch puzzles me :/ I know where all 7 wires are all going doing but how to adapt them to a 3 terminal switch is confusing me. I'd love some help if possible Dab-Of-Oppo/Slindborg Deano

[-Dab-of-Oppo-]

You can't, you need at least a 6 pin switch with 2 normally closed legs any other configuration would have wires bridging which will mean you would have to indicate at the same time as pressing the switch to have both sides flashing together. If you do away with the back light and main illumination you could drop it to 5 terminals.

I'll PM you both in a bit.

[slindborg]

Just need a Double pole single throw switch for the hazards and then permy supply the relay. DONE
