Can this piece hold 3 GSW-45 switches if it cut out? It is the piece right above the Trunk Open Switch that pulls out to access electrical stuff.

Has anyone cut it out? It looks like it is ready to be cut out to fit the switches exactly.

 

interesting idea, im in the same boat im all out of open switch plates!

 

wow never noticed that, looks like it would be good for that.

 

I need more switches, and one day as i was wiring, i looked t this, and looked at the one of the switch fillers from behind, and they look the same.

 

yeah... a sneaky idea that Scion put in and few people know...

those cutouts are there on purpose for exactly what you think they're for..

 

damn... and all this time i thought i was running out of places for switches.

 

SCORE!

But the problem is cutting them out...i suck at that game

 

dremel or a ABS plastic cutting blade (knife)

 

I'm not that talented...

 

ehh... a sharp knife and a straight edge?

 

Do i cut the inner or outer edge?

 

cut less and cut more if you have to.

 

^^ lol exactly... you can always cut a bigger hole...

not the other way around.

 

just make sure you use enough wire to still be able to remove that panel when your done lol.

why do you need more switches? you could prolly run all the nights you currently have off of 1 switch,..

my switch pannel is full also though, so i guess i dont have too much room to talk....
1 oznioum(sp) led switch for ALL my led/cathods
1 OEM fogs
1 "VRD knock off" fogs
1 push to start button.

 

I have 4 GSW-45's

Its now highly organized

The top prongs connect to the accessory,

the bottoms are the power

which goes

+ + + +
\ / \ /
+ +
\ /
+


So it turns into one wire, and i have enough wire to make another tree, and just connect it to the end.

Switch 1: Interior Cathodes
Switch 2: Angel Eyes
Switch 3: Custom Fogs
Switch 4: Puddle Lights

Bottom Switch 1 Would Be: Airvent LED's
Bottom Switch 2 Would Be: Cupholders, CD Holders(Rear), Change Holder
Bottom Switch 3 Would Be: Trunk Cathodes

Of course the benefit of wiring the power to the bottom of all of them is that i can switch the accessories around easier. (The first time this happened, i smoked my car out, now my wiring is foolproof.)

Oh my engine lighting would be on a door pin switch from oznium

 

I saw this the other day when I was running a new remote switch. I thought about messing with it to make more spaces...but I dont really have a need to.

If you can find some way to heat either a hobby knife or the plastic it makes cutting a lot easier. Possibly a heat gun?...would make it soft enough without completely melting it.

I used the ghetto way when I was modding a circuit box and did a straight lighter flame to the plastic. After it just barely softened up, you can take a hobby knife and apply pressure. It will sorta slowly glide through the plastic. You can tell when you need to reheat it because you would be able to budge the hobby knife any longer using the same pressure.

I have the Scion security in one and two of the switches that fit in the holes perfectly in the top ones. I have room for one more switch which I already am going to fill at this time.

Switch 1 - Sub Amp
Switch 2 - Video Kill Switch
Switch 3 - ...still debating if I want use this or use the sub switch for this part too

Anywhoo..as far as

 

i say try crabby mans method, i think its more forgivable than taking a dremel to it. haha

my switches are similar to yours crabby man,
switch 1 - amp kill switch
switch 2 - bypass kill (avic d3)

 

Ok, so i installed the switches today.

 

looks great!!

 

Thanks! I am finishing wiring up my new lights in the engine area. Then i am finally done with lighting....for now
