Hey all, i am new on here and had a question for the expert wiring people here.

I installed my Red Streetglow Gold Series undercar neons today and have the stock switch connected and working. i am looking into getting some interior neons as well as my windshield nozzel LEDs. I would like to either Buy or Make my own 4-5 switch panel to go on my dash right underneath my alpine receiver. (right now i just have the stock cd player in there as to not have a gaping hole). If anyone knows the dimensions and what kind of materials i would need, or if they have the equipment and knowledge to make one i would be happy to work out a fair price. I just would like to hook up the undercar neons to one switch, interior front noens to other, interior rear neons to other and my windshield nozels to the last. thanks a lot guys and you'll be seeing more of me >>

When you put in your head unit, buy a single DIN sized pocket. Before you install the pocket, cut out the back or drill a hole that will fit all your wires through. Get a piece of 1/4 particle boardand cut it to the dimensions of the inside of the pocket. Paint the particle board the color of your interior. Install switches and run wires. Toggle switches always look cool. Put the particle board into the pocket and use an epoxy to secure it. This would be even better if you found a stock pocket that has the little door on it and that way the switches are all hidden until you're ready to use them.

go to mcdonalds, burger king, ANYWERE with food trays..............
take a tray......
now that you have a tray go to radioshack
buy "x" number of switches
measure the gap the panel needs to cover
drawl the measurements onto the food tray
now cut out that measurement (should be a rectangle)

grap a drill start small bits and work up to a large enough bit so that you can fit the switches through the hole
drill "x" holes equadistant

now
get glue/epoxy/duct tape and fasten the platic food tray cuttout you made to the back of the console
let dry

insert switches and wire!

good suggestions both of you, thanks! i will see which works the best, then maybe write a how-to with pics later. thanks again

wow clipse, looks great! i want to go for that type of look on mine...you just cut out the plastic and used switches form radio shack? nice! i will post up pics when i am done

thanks, I just glued it to a empty storage box and cut the bottom out for all my wiring.

I think it came to like 20$ done, because I went with the leds and I used a relay.
