I was trying to find a toggle switch that fit in the three spots below the A/C controls and couldn't find anything that looked good. I was tired of seeing big ol' paddle switches or round toggles or anything that didn't look a little factory. I finally found one today. I found this switch at Lowes. It was $4 after tax. It fits perfectly in the location without any modification at all.

This switch is for my sub amp. I want to be able to turn the amp off when I remove my subs so I don't have the amp on for no reason. I am going to get 2 more switches for my neon and foglights.

Glad I could help guys. I knew everyone would love the look of it. It looks like it was meant for that spot. Doesn't stick out and isn't an eyesore as some others are.

Thanks for the info, that helps me a lot. No more drilling out punchouts to accept the switches that come with cathodes.

Those look good. I was wondering if I could purchase the original switches that went there from the dealer (or elsewhere) For example, the factory cupholder illumination switch would be pretty pimp as a NOS activation switch.
