    Me personally I do not care for those hugh bumpers. But if I was going to get one I would like the flat top one. That one looks do able.

    I like some of the road armor ones but damn they really expensive.

    ya just the face, not the inner part so you can see inside the switch (if you get what i mean)
    i solder the resistor to the led first, then slide both in thru the front into the hole and solder it to the "pads" not very difficult to do :thumbups:

    long lead

    edit: every switch is different so i suggest soldering the resistor first then testing to see which way the polarity goes
