    Is there anyway I could order switches and instead of all white/white could I have say the top amber and bottom white? Or vice versa :D

    We can build up the switches with the amber/white LEDs but there is additional charge per switch.

    I wanted upper independent and lower dependent in white and at the time I wasn't able to find it on their website, but they did have it in blue, so I purchased the switches and changed it out myself (V1D1FBBB). You can put any color 5mm led bulb with a lip in there that you want (just make sure you note which side of the switch is + and - before you take out the old bulb and put in the new one).

    I still don't have the switches all wired to accessories though.

    http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showthread.php?t=56098 (How-to: OTRATTW (Carling Tech) Switches With Any Color LED) has a good writeup on it.

    for the dual coloured one, is that to say that the illumination of both colours stay on when the switch is selected? and when the truck is on but the switch is not hit, it only illuminates blue?0

    i wanna pull the trigger on two switches but im not sure what its going to look like when its all said and done.
    white while the switch is off, blue while illuminated.


    so far ive got:

    [​IMG]
    CONTURA V, FOG LIGHTS, LOWER LED INDEPENDENT
    • SPST ON/OFF switch.
    • Blue/White LEDs
    • Upper Blue LED is ON when the upper part of the rocker is pressed ON. This will light up the symbol area.
    • Lower White LED is independently wired. If connected this will light up the indicator bar.
    • Rated 20A 12V
    • No rear barriers between terminals. VCH housing connectors can be used with Packard 630 terminals. VCH connector and terminals are sold separately.
    • Insulated 1/4" female quick disconnect terminals can also be used. This is a 5 terminal switch
    • Wiring diagram

    Selected options:

    Custom Text:
    Etch: Vertical w/Indicator Bar
    Edit options

    AND


    [​IMG]
    CONTURA V, LED LIGHT BAR, LOWER LED INDEPENDENT
    • SPST ON/OFF switch.
    • Blue/White LEDs
    • Upper Blue LED is ON when the upper part of the rocker is pressed ON. This will light up the symbol area.
    • Lower White LED is independently wired. If connected this will light up the indicator bar.

    • Wiring diagram
    in mind. thoughts? also it should be noted for illumination wise i have a white taco so, white/blue probably is the best colour scheme imo

    For my dual color switch, the blue is always on and the upper (zombie symbol) is on when I flip the switch on.
