    I didn't use relays either. I just wired up 2 white/amber switchback pods last night, no issues.

    awesome, thanks for the info!

    I'm not running relays on any of my LED lights that are wired off the Switch-Pro, although I did use the double-amp connection of the 7th and 8th circuit to power my big-dog ARB knock-offs. (Which are 18amps apiece, IIRC, and which I wired in series.) The ability to skip an aftermarket fuse-box is part of why I spent the extra money for the Switch-Pro in the first place.

    Also, not to discourage anyone from posting in this thread, of course, but I did find the people at Switch-Pro to be super friendly and helpful when it came to questions about wiring and load. They know their product well.

    I've heard that about them. It's the weekend though so I figured I'd ask here and call them next week. Just planning out my needs. It's tougher then u thought. Usually I just do it. But I find myself wasting money on things I don't need. Must be a sign of getting older :(

    Can you also make 3D files for my sunglasses holder since I accidentally drilled a hole all the way through the front of mine when opening up a channel for the control wires?

    Could you make it snap in the kit similar to the way an OEM switch snaps in the dash?

    haha.. just finished up and saw this. yep.. basically a snap in..

    Changed the radius of the corners to match the SwitchPro, so now its a perfect fit around it.

    pictured with the SwitchPro Model in place:

    upload_2016-4-18_16-37-31.png


    just the bezel:


    upload_2016-4-18_16-38-46.png

    the underside of the bezel. it will snap into place with the 4 tabs.. the flange on top will keep it from being pushed through the top of the shifter console. in theory anyways.. lol

    upload_2016-4-18_16-40-18.png

    I will print a prototype tomorrow and see how it goes. I can make small adjustments now. just getting a base part. It will be printed in Solid form from "ivory" ABS plastic. the Dims of the flange and lock tab shoul dbe sufficient enough in thickness and strength. if everything goes smoothly.. I can order Black ABS for the final run.

    Wow! Seriously impressive! I think you should share your design with SwithPros when you're done. Maybe they'll use your idea and throw an attaboy your way. I'm sure lots of people would appreciate this option. I've officially put my install on hold to see how this comes out. Looks like the perfect option. Thanks for all your work on it!!

    Thanks man! I really appreciate that.

    I may shoot them an email once I get a prototype dialed in. who knows. lol

    and not a problem.. I wanted to try something, but didn't really want to start the whole process.. thankfully you guys motivated me to go through with it!

    on another note.. SwitchPros Customer Service is awesome. needed two more amber labels, and already bought one pack. they sent out two more same day I asked about them, free of charge.
