Aux light switch

[Trialsin26]

I have had an issue while installing my aux lights, and that is where to install the switches. I wanted to put then some where, where they couldn't be reached by the passenger and etc. This was my solution.

Oooh...that's slick! I like it. and you can close it up out of the way, too!

 

What did you use for the backing piece?

hey man thats an awesome mod.. i just have my switch in one of those punch out clip things by the rear defroster and such. but if i still had my fuse door id probably change over to that mod. i hate passengers playing with all my switches and such.

My passengers know not to touch anything in my truck while I'm driving without permission EACH TIME. Otherwise they get smacked and they're walking.

very nice and clean. I always do a double take when I see newer R50s with different switches/buttons.

That's a great mod! Very clean installation.

 

How many sets of lights do you have, and what is each switch for?

 

I noticed you have a blank spot still available in the panel above the coin tray. Still room to grow!

 

PS- What's that switch next to the mirror control?

Nice work!

I'd like to know more about this too. Any other pictures?

Yes I like that too ...but for me I have my Indiglo gauge inverter, wiring, switch/dimmer all stuffed in there.

AWESOME switch mod. DJ Dank, where did you get your indiglo gauge faces from?

very nice indeedy...

 

although I have issues with that stupid opening - when I used to keep loose change in there it would fall out all the time *CHANGE EVERYWHERE*... dunno if it would do the same with these in there.

Thanks everyone. It was a real simple mod. All I used was 3 Pilot switches from AutoZone, a small sheet of clear .093 lexan polycarbonate that I cut to size, and can of fusion black spray paint that I used to cover the back side. I drilled two whole on the inside of the coin tray/fuse box cover to run the wires. I cut the Lexan almost to perfect size so it was a perfect pressure fit. No screws or glue. Plus it makes removing it very easy. The switch are all for lights but I don’t have them all installed yet. The three custom switches are for the rear lights (installed), side lights (installed), top front lights (soon to be installed). The factory looking switch was a junk yard find off an old Sentra which I will use to power the lights on my front runner bumper at soon at I get the front runner bumper. As soon as I get more then 5 min to work on it I’ll take some more pictures.

So does the sentra light switch fit perfectly into the blank location or did you have to cut up a blank to make it fit? That one looks really nice and stock.

That switch is actually a stock Nissan fog switch. You could order them from AC/4x4parts at one point.

[Trialsin26]

t0ast - yes it does fit perfect. no cutting. Just pop it in.

 

maximusnt - true you could order them at one time but the company that made them for nissan stopped making them a while ago.

Thats pretty much what I did -- only I used 1/4" plywood and painted it black and then spray varnished it. Yours turned out a lot better looking though! But thats ok, my trucks not supposed to be pretty
