Rocker Switches Mounted In Ashtray Face
Hello all, I've recently installed an ARB locker and as a result I have to install minimum two, most likely going to be 5 rocker switches. I could go the easy way and install them under the dash, but I think it might be a cool project to install them in the ashtray face. I have never used the ashtray, so why not make it into something functional. The best part for me about the switches is the aftermarket has so many faces available. Below I have pictures related to the mod and what it might look like. What do you guys think? Thanks!
Possibilities... Empty Ashtray Space... Switch Size... What it might look like... |

IMO it would look better if the whole ashtray
area was switches |

As long as they match each other, unlike your photoshoped switches.

Re: Rocker Switches Mounted In Ashtray Face
I am glad you posted the pic. I bought the same contura switches and faces for my front e-locker, a/c compressor and seat heaters. I thought they looked too modern so they are still in the box. They actually do not look bad against the ventilation controls.

Re: Rocker Switches Mounted In Ashtray Face
Photoshop, bah. The real pros use MSPaint, ha. Yeah it's a rough mockup, but it gets the point across. I wanted to modify the ashtray faceplate so I dont have to cut the dash, I just hate cutting into a classic. Although I do think it would look better with the cut dash and plastic housing insert.
I just hadn't seen anybody put rocker switches in this area yet, if anyone has please post some pics! Dash insert plastic... Dash insert with switches... Attachment 1774573 |
