Custom rocker switches.. and Carling switch deal!

Post by VinceAtReal4x4s »

I recently used these guys and can't say enough good things. You make your own switch label and they laser engrave it and send you the cover. $10 each. They fit the very popular Carling switch bodies. https://rockerswitchpros.com

There simply wasn't a "work light" switch that looked the way I wanted it to, anywhere, which finally led me to these guys. I'm also customizing the LED's in the switch to the colors I want. There's a guy on ebay selling the switches from a surplus box of them for a crazy good price. You'd need a different LED or resistor for 24v.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carling-V1D2U6 ... 0987523313 He's taking offers, and will do $5 plus $3 for shipping. These things are about $17 each normally, in the SPST dual LED configuration. One LED lights when the switch is thrown while the other can go to your headlight switch.

This is my current project:

Thanks. Yeah the horizontal label placement was the main issue. There are some available but most of course are vertical. They back light really well. I just found some LED's that I'll be installing soon. To change the LEDs out is a delicate task but I think I can pull it off with a magnifier glass.
