the prices definitley are not bad at all.. only thing is if i have extra switches and mounting panels it will make me think about getting more accessories, as i wouldnt want to let those switches go to waste.

I got my rocker switches in and the panel mounts (2 different links and places)

They all look high quality and I like the "clear" label rocker switches that I got. I'm going to do a cardboard mock up today so I'll get some pics up afterwards...

Worth the money IMO.

Hey that looks great w/ the black stickers!
The rear is different than ARB switches. But the quality is good?

actually, no they dont. i ordered one a while ago and tried it, and it doesnt fit (at least in 3rd gens...)

to get it to fit you'd have to sand the opening to make it wider. but then i think the dash plastic is too thick bc it really doesnt stay in there snug.

Son of a B I asked that question while clicking the "submit" button to order the switches.

you can probably still get it to work. it just wont be as easy as snapping it in. don't sweat it.

Thanks for the link. Does he have a pic of them lit up? I'm also curious if the switch body itself is the same as the ARB switches (the ARB switches are by Carling Switch)

Nope, no pics, but I did "test" the lights and they looked good. There are some pics on the rocker switch website of them lighting up...an animated GIF I believe. Don't know if these are "Carling" or not but they look very similar and fit the same panel mounts...

I might actually get to use them some year.

So they do or don't snap right in? Are there some that snap right in besides the Cole Hersee? Clear stickers/logo's aren't that hard to make. I'd like a uniform lighted switch with different colors for various accessories. Are these the answer Wabbit? Do they only come in 10 amp models? That's probably enough I guess, anything more will have a relay involved.

All I know is they work for me...these rocker switches go in the panel mounts from Waytek perfectly, as the picture shows. I made my own custom DIN slot cover to fit the Waytek panel mount into, so who knows if it will fit the OEM junk.

Look on the links on the thread for any other questions as I have no idea if they will fit OEM slots, what the specifics are on the ones I have and what amps they come in...all that is on the link for the switches.

Do I like them? Yes.

Do they light up and look good? Yes.

Can you make them fit in whatever? Yes, invest in a Dremel tool!
