Do you have pics? I'm looking for a switch to replace the crappy one the audio shop put in my car...something that would look OEM to the left of the steering wheel.

Lowes has it too, I think its the GW-45 switch or something like that... if you have a lowes near you, I would suggest looking there.

Home depot used to sell them as well/ i picked up one for my neons and one for my leds. They look oem. Easy to wire too. TWo prongs, one for power in and one for power out. Make sure to find a good screw to ground it to.

As for the fuse box question get an add-a-fuse, they are like $6 at advanced auto. You connect the power wire to the add a fuse, pull a fuse, plug in 2 fuses to the add a fuse, and plug the add a fuse into the fuse box, very clean and no loose wires stuck in your fuse fox. I used the taillights one on my xB

I got my switch in and kinda messed up the larger piece of plastic in the process, is it possible to buy a replacement?

Also what's the best way to pop out the panels without ____ing anything up?
