i work in a kragen, and this guy came in looking for a headlight dimmer switch. i think it was for his ford pickup. anyway, this switch is floor mounted. and it is a pushbutton for your foot.

i took the idea for this switch and put it in my 4runner next to my clutch pedal to operate my 100w offroad hella500s. works perfectly. exactly what i was looking for. i dont have to take my hands off of the steering wheel or anything to turn my really bright lights on and off.

just thought i would share with you what an awesome and amazingly cheap switch mod that was. 3.99! a lifetime warranty part from borg warner

ill post pictures tomorrow

 

not a bad idea

 

Yeah, most ford pickups have the highbeam/lowbeam switch mounted to the floor.

Pretty cool mod though.

 

I'm a firm believer that the hi/lo switch should still be on the floor. Loved that in my old Chevy.

 

i love mine, its out of an old dodge ram charger.

 

never had that idea. I like it.

 

funny... on another board a guy did the same thing... haven't heard about those switches for years and now 2 in a week.... they are making a come back

 

Used to be a pretty common kill switch. If you ever see your hellas flashing on and off you'll know someone's trying to make off with your truck.

 

nice.

 

What store number are you at? I'm up at 1269 in Ridgecrest.

 

i am at 335 in grass valley. about 50 miles up the hill on i80 from sacramento

 

i have the same switch for my hellas

 

Good idea...except, I have big feet, and I can hardly push in the clutch pedal without my foot hitting the floor to the left, or the pedal to the right.

 

yup had it on my 71 mach 1 mustang, it was pretty cool hah

does toyota have anythign like this? OEM wise?? it be pretty cool to put one on my FJ but then again i already have a swtich ahha

 

Yeah, I've always wanted a switch like that too! Good project!

 

I might make a button like that to light all my lights at once. Or even better a 'kill switch'.

But knowing me i'd accidentally hit it while driving, that would suck.

 

I found my self constantly hitting the switch on my F250 when I would jump in it, how often are you really using your 100 watt lights?

 

they've had this idea since the early 40's...
i have one of these switches on my CJ2A body.

 

my dads got an 89 F-250 that has that switch, i always thought it was so cool hah. I just might hook one up in my pickup...

 

My dads got one in his 65 f100. Pretty cool...

Its got a 460
