I couldn't believe when I posted these for all to see that it would be that big a deal but I have had more PM's about these things than anything else. I'm glad I could actually contribute something to the board. I have a question about them though. Has anyone figured a way to mark them yet to tell which side is off and on?

I always just remember "Right On" when mounting switches horizontally. Mount them so that it's "Left Off" and "Right On".
Heading to Lowe's to pick up a couple of these myself.

you might want to run a power wire from the battery with a inline fusable link
instead of tapping off the cig lighter
i tapped off the radio power for my led underbody lights and now when i use the cig lighter it blows the fuse

just picked up two of the GB gsw-45s and mounted them in the tC. Note about install: the switch is just a fraction of an inch (like 1/32) too wide for the opening. i used a dremel and shaved the openings a lil, not much. if u dont u may get the switch in but it will push out the sides of the opening and make the switch harder to turn on and off.

I just bought a GB GSW-45 for my OEM fogs, since I bought them off of someone and they didn't have the switch. It fits extremely close to perfect and looks like OEM. I too bought it at Lowes for $4.31. Keep us posted about ideas on how to label these bad boys for the On/Off position. I have mine setup as [right = on] and [left = off].

if u could find the gsw-49s they are lighted. perhaps find some small letter stickers. stick on what u want it to say then paint the rocker thats translucent red to opaque flat black. paint drys, peel the letters back off and now labeled and light up when on. just a thought.
#33
Anybody with an xA done this? I need to see how they fit... but I guess for $4 or $5, I can find out myself.
We xA guys put the switches in the normal up/down position!!! Yay!!!
Anywho... anyone labeled the switches and have them look nice?

On a side-note, I have the OEM foglights that are hooked up to an existing switch in the switchbank, but I wanted to change out that switch with one that I modified with an LED for a uniform look. The problem I ran into was that it appears both wires leading back to the current foglight switch are hot as no matter what wire I tapped the LED into, the LED always stayed on. I do know that if I switch my headlights to highbeams, the foglights turn off automatically, so maybe that has something to do with it? Can anybody offer advice on how to wire the OEM foglights to my new switch with the LED I installed? I'm using the Gardner Bender GSW-45 switches (in case you need to know).

ebay 4x4 rocker switches
These are the ones I just ordered. I'm hoping you can further customise the labels. Will post more when they arrive.

Who'd a thunk! I also found my switches at Lowes as well. One thing I really like about them is , they seem to be of better quality, I bought 5 different swtches from Shucks (Chechers) and they lasted about a week It really ____ed me off, for one thing their switches are twice as much. Gawd talk about money wasted! I have had the Lowes switches in the Bb for about five months now and they still work fine. It is to bad that there are only five places for placement (this includes the two cutouts in the center console) I ran red LED's to each switch as they are always hot. It was in hopes of remembering to turn them off..........errr it kiinda works lol the cup led's have been left on for a full night or two
