Default Custom Switches + Interior LEDs

I recently just ordered some cheap switches for the interior LEDs that I'm going to be putting in. Going to put some switched to the dash. Got some cheap stuff off of eBay maybe in a while I will invest in some good stuff. This thread will be pick heavy.

I have 4 of those switches installed in my F150. They run my phone booster, radar detector, inverter and aux booster cable hook ups, it has a bat mobile feel to it, not to mention it cleaned up the jumble on my dash with the splitters and stuff.

Sweet where did you put them? I have the flow through center console and I was thinking of putting them by the cigarette lighter.

Nice, maybe because I have a 2WD I only have the 12v plug in the center on the oval black piece on the bottom. I think I might have room for four of the switches down there. Looks good though!

So I finally got around to installing these, took me a lot longer than they should have, my 17 year old retarded self blew a fuse. But now they're all wired up and I put the switch right next to the cigarette lighter plug. Just unclipped the unnecessary 4WD wired and dremeled down the back. They look pretty good but I was off on my measurement by about 1/16th of an inch so it doesn't sit perfectly. Pics to come
