Trialsin26 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 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.

vengeful Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0ast Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 very nice and clean. I always do a double take when I see newer R50s with different switches/buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 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?

Pezzy Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 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.

Trialsin26 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0ast Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximusnt Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 That switch is actually a stock Nissan fog switch. You could order them from AC/4x4parts at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trialsin26 Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 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.

Harbinger Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 t0ast - yes it does fit perfect. no cutting. Just pop it in. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
