Default Switches

Howdie

Just wondering,

I need to put a switch in my car. Is there any aftermarket switches (the ones from autobarn) that fit into the spaces where the boot release, fuel cap relase buttons are, or would i be able to use one of these factor switches to allow me to turn something on and off?
If people have fitted aftermarket switches in these places, could you please get a picture for me.

you can drill a hole thru a blank infill panel and mount any toggle switch but imo you are better off just using a factory switch, although im not 100% you can modify one to remain constant instead of just a trigger type like the factory ones...

Go up to Pickapart and get a "electric ariel switch". They are a ON/OFF type. Ive used them in peoples cars for amp switches, driving lights, etc

Get a econ/power switch from a column shift bench seat car.

The ones to left are where you normally find them.
