some of my friends say i have an obsession, i dont think so?

i mean, 5 on front of rack, 2 on each side of rack, 2 on back of rack, 2 on tjm, and 2 rock lights. i mean, each light serves a purpose.

i do have room for more...

edit: using my brilliant highschool math skills, i have 15 lights.

I was quoted 14.22 at San Francisco Toyota and 18.55 at Melody Toyota in San Bruno. I was ready to buy one for 6 and some change from the link that tofer posted, but they also want 6.50 for shipping.
cheers

Booo to the cheesy OEM switches.




I have one switch wired to two relay's to controll the 4 hi-output roof rack lights, and another switch wired to a relay to controll the rear facing lights on the rack.

I just picked up some rectangle lights for the sides of the roof rack and I still plan on some rock lights too. Now I still need some switches. My guy at the dealer quoted me $12ea and he has to order them, but I can't decide which way to go. I'd kinda like some way to tell the switches apart since I'll have multiple switches. A bunch of factory fog light switches may not be the way to go. Where did you get these switches 4Hummer?

Marko, have you seen these in a Toyota? Do they fit the hole nicely?

I think that someone just got a set of those, they said that they fit but they needed to force them in a lil (or mabye trim a bit) but i think that there is a thread talking all about those somewhere in here

I decided on the Toyota switches. I think they will be the cleanest looking. I also got my rectangular lights mounted on the the sides. Now I've got a ton of wire to run!

If you want to find the switches locally you can try several different places. I went to a West Marine Boat supply store. The toyota switches are I think made by the same company, Cole Hersee. Anyone that sells the brand will have the switch you need.

It's kinda funny, I ordered the factory fog lamp switches, they came in and one was the new style (round indicator light) and the other was the old style (rectangle indicator light). It works out though. I'm going to put the round one on my round main lights, and the rectangle one on my rectangle side lights. Rocket science Almost got them all wired up. I built a new wiring harness for my roof rack. I soldered and heat shrinked EVERYTHING! Looks nice. I'll post some pics asap.
