Switches?
Got a question for you guys out there. I just installed a set of PIAA 912's on my GSR and ran the switch that came with them to the center console where the parking brake is. There are 4 little plastic tabs that pop out and look like they were designed to have switches mounted in them. Do you know of any company that makes modular switches that are designed to fit in those slots? I thought about drilling the one I have and custom mounting it, but the PIAA switch has a custom funky little circuit board in the switch casing that even when shaved won't fit in the OEM switch-hole cover.
I went to Home Depot and got a nice switch that just bearly fit into those plastic tabs. The reason for it is when you pop them out look on the back side...the plastic square is in a wierd shape and its a big pain in the *** but ive successfully did it very nicely...as for the piaa switch...i im sure that it can be pulled off but its probably not worth it...what i did..is snuck the switch to the drivers side..at the bottom of the counsel where the carpet and the counsel meet where nobody has access to it but the driver...
I have some Hella Optiplex Fogs, and it came with a really cool LED type button that changed color when on and off. It didn't even close to fit in the spaces in the center console, so I took it and cut it down to the correct shape and then did some plastic-working to mold it into the correct size. It turned out really good. If i had a digital camera, I'd post a pic, but I don't, so sorry.

if you have a black console, i'd be willing to trade a couple of these for your stock inserts....something to think about...I took of the nitrous kit so i don't need all of them anymore

Yup, those are the panels I was talking about. I'm looking for something a little smaller, but I think that might work. The problem is the PIAA's have a circuit board along with them with a dual-color LED. Not sure if that would make a difference and I certainly don't want to end up killing these lights. The switches do look pretty good though.
