Default what make this better then any other one you back at radio shack?



5 switches with indicator light, switch panel


Make custom wiring your vehicle much easier with this Moroso switch panel. The switch panel has indicator lights and front mounted, E-Z access fuse holders with pigtails attached, and comes with custom labels so you can customize the panel to your individual needs.

This panel features five on/off switches with power indicators, fuse holders, fuses, and labels.


Can't I just go to Radio Shack and get some switched and make my own? What are the fuse for?

theyre capitalist pigs making a huge buck off of these. if you know electronics at all you can go to radio shack and make the panel yourself. the fuses are inline with the switches so you dont have to put a fuse somewhere that is tough to get to.... cool feature on the front panel.

well,
i work at radio shack and i can say that most of all single position toggles are the
same, the only differences are the max voltage and max amps.
im pretty sure that the switches that come with a board like that are no more
than amps, so you could go to a radio shack and get the stuff you need to make it,
including the fuses for not even a third of the price they charge.
but, if you have no wiring experience then, thier stuff is the way to go.
my $.02.

What makes it better is that it's already assembled and ready to go. When you have to install a switch panel and do twenty other things between now and the race this weekend, you don't have hours to spend building a panel from scratch. And the fuses right up front would save a lot of track time changing if you blow one during a race.

You can spend time or you can spend money. It just depends on which is more important to you.

What's wrong with that?

What makes these better? It says Moroso! Duh! LOL!

It is the convienance that you are paying for. Sure you could go to Radio Shack and make one, but then you spend $10-$15 for switches, another $10 for the lights, and an additional $10 for the fuse holders. You have now spent $30 or so dollars. Then you have to make a good looking panel and wire it up. While this is no big deal, some would just rather spend the extra money and have it done for them.


Besides, you can probably pick these up for under $50 at performance stores.
