    So i recently purchased a pack of 5 switches on the internet and was wondering how to occupy each one.
    Heres what i have so far:
    1. Off road Lights
    2. Reverse Lights
    3. Bed/Tool Box Lights
    4. Under hood lights
    5. Need something, dont want rock lights.

    Thanks for any suggestiosn

    I usually buy switches after I know what I need them for, but I like the way you think.

    More offroad lights. Under dash lights, puddle lights under your doors, air horn, OBA

    Passenger ejection seat.

    While you are saving up for the actual ejection seat, just have the switch in the dash and labeled. Nobody is going to test it anyway. Unless you loan your truck out, then they might find out you're a fraud!

    I went his way on my Silverado.
    I had uses for all but one... Overhead offroad lights, "alley" lights on the rack corners, two construction strobes for work, and two rear-facing lights for tailgating/desert fun/work/etc... the front lights on the bull bar were switched automatically with the high beams.
    I labeled the 5th switch for an inverter that I was planning to install, but I never could decide which one to go with.

    Don't go hooking up those switch indicator lights to anything that is fed by a computer! Asking for trouble if you put any additional load on a computer board.
