yep, but I am still looking. I went through the first 30 pages of "rocker switch" on google images, and found nothing I loved.

There were many, many more listed on eBay. I just picked a few that were not just plain-Jane switches to show there was a good selection there.

I have seen most of those, and I did like the second ones you posted, and Im sure I could contact the seller to get the ones I need.

**edit** okay, I sent the guy who is selling the rv rockers a email, now I just have to wait.

here is the picture of it installed, I think it matcheh fairly well, but it looks brown in the pictures or some reason.



There is also some flaws, but I will fix them once I take it out to put the switches in.

Yeah the switches with labels that iluminate green were a nice choice . I just didnt think they could change the words on them. Overall looks good. Maybe it looks brown on the pics cause you have the red lights inside. But Definatly good job.

I think that the light is from the camera as my truck was parked in the sun.

From that pic with it installed in the truck it seems to have a little texture to it, like lines running across it? If it does you might want to sand the thing down real good and get it smooth just got it looks perfect and you won't regret not smoothing it out later.

Its not even close to being done, I need to shave a bit off of the sides to get it to fit right, probably sand most of the paint, off, and make the holes for the switches. Does anyone have any tips for adding a bit of texture to it?
