Matching Switches

Post by motorolamonster911 »

I am re-installing a siren and LED setup in a dodge dakota. The install before had four switches:

1-Siren - ON-OFF-ON for Wail & Yelp
2-Airhorn - MOM
3-LED's - ON
4-MODE - MOM - for mode selection of LED's

The thing is that none of these switches matched. They were in the little rocker switch plastic mounts. The owner doesnt like holes in his truck because he always wants to be able to sell it, so the switches are currently velcro'ed to the bottom of the dash. What I'm looking for is a set of matching switches, prefferable that they are lighted, and would only require at max. 2 screws to mount.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You could maybe try Waytek Wire out of MN. I got their catalog after reading about them here on someone else's post.

They sell Contura Switches and you can get a small surround panels that link together. I don't know what you're looking to spend but it's an option. I remember looking them up and I didn't think they were too bad for what they looked like. I have a boat with them in it and they work good for me. Alot of different options as fars DPDT, SPST, lighted, unlit, etc.

Good luck.

Blaze.

I got the Waytek catalog last week. They have many items, but their prices aren't too impressive. Del City is cheaper, is is TST.
