    Anyone have experience with using Air On Board switches? I found this. I'm thinking I can install it in the unused Clutch Start Cancel switch panel. I really want to keep everything clean. Everyone things they're great with trimming out a little plastic and then boom - crooked switch. My OCD can't stand it.

    If you trim correctly measure twice cut once won't have to worry about it being crooked only have to trim minimal to get the switch to fit

    Yeah, of course, but why bother when someone makes a switch that pops right into the factory opening? I appreciate the look of consistency. It hearkens back to my car-stereo-installer days. The best systems were the ones you didn't see. Here's an example of being slightly off multiplied with other switches that are also slightly off:

    I have a set of baja designs HID OR lights that I acquired while I was deployed. Theyre bright as hell but I havent mounted them yet. Biggest times I have needed more light is at night on some small highway in the woods of NC or when headed up to the mountains in the snow

    I have one:

    Subtle differences from the factory ones (texture, light color), but overall I'm happy and it's as close as I would have gotten to a factory look.

    I like the placement of that 30" bar. Might have to look into that

    Thanks for the tip on this, just bought it. It will be wired up to a 21.5 Caliraised 3D bar going below the grill.

    I know how you feel.

    I hate when stuff is sloppy. I want clean work. Work where unless you know it was added in after, you can not tell whether its factory or not.

    Yea, see this is nice. There are differences but it fits flush and looks factory for the most part. Very clean - I like it! Thanks for posting.
