I recently aquired a white 50" curved light bar and 2 Led pods for reverse.

I wanted nice looking illuminated rocker switches I went with Mictunning switches from amazon.

and I wanted a real nice clean looking install.

I bought 1 square feet of ABS plastic from amazon.

And youll need the mounting housings for the switches it makes it a whole lot easier also sold by Mictunning on amazon.

So first I removed the Onstar buttons some of you may have a cubby there just remove that also so that you can run the wires threw the opening.

I cut the square out of the ABS plastic to size to cover the opening on the Dash trim piece not the dash it self and then I cut out the hole for the switch housing. Then I hot glued the plastic to the dash trim piece I did it this way cause there wasnt an easy way to mount a flat plastic to the dash itself.

FINISHED PRODUCT.

Hi..i am a new user here. In my case i got tired of being paranoid about the battery dying during a flash. I ended up pulling the fuel pump fuse bur got tired of Reinserting the fuse.I ended up building this. It's a toggle switch that in series with the fuel pump fuse. turn the switch off to disable the fuel pump. flash and turn it back on.

I literally just got my stuff to do this, how ever I got a used cubby for free from local yard, 12x12 .060 abs and I'm using round switches. I'm going to cut the front lip off the cubby, the thickness for the abs glue abs to cubby, also cut back out of cubby to run wires and my results will be almost identical. except it for some reason ever sell or trade I can switch out cubbies and I still have my switches and wiring without a hole in the dash or abs glued to bezel.

I kept the onstart unit for the same reason. I can pop it back in and no one will be the wiser.
