Default Automotive Switches

Ok, so to be "cool" I wanted to get a set of matching toggle switches with the slick little red cover over them (for my nitrous setup).

So basically what Im asking is, where can I snag these things CHEAP. I ned an ARM switch, a BOTTLE HEATER switch, and a cover for my opener.



Summit has the switches with the covers for $15.99 SUM-G3902
They also have just the covers for $9.99 SUM-G3902C

Anyone know of any other source where I can get these?

moroso makes them also. so does paineless wiring. They make them. Most of the nitrous shops carry them in stock usually ranging in price from 5-20 bucks.

You won't be able to get one for the remote bottle opener, they don't make them that large since the switch is a dual position switch. The other two will work. I got mine at the shop I normally goto. Or you can order them from NOS I think for around 15-20 dollars a piece... They look very kewl but also draw attention.. chicks dig the switches...

Just make sure you can reach both pisitions of the opener switch.. it's also a emergency valve close in case something goes wrong and you wouldnt want to NOT be able to move that bad boy to the closed position!!!

dude, no offence, but just buy the friggen complete switches from summit and be done with it!

The trouble of trying to find the correct switch, to match the switch holder is not worth saving a buck. Just buy the complete ones for $16!!

I know exactlly what they are. I was just saying, instead of looking high and low for cheaper switches(or covers), just buy the combo from summit or wherever and move on.

If you need them today, then that's one thing, but the nature of your post does not show so.
