    just put it in the blank cover right next to the left of steering wheel.

    I have column shifter so took my ash tray out so the ash tray light bulb now works to illuminate the floor mounted tray and drink holder but its also handy just for a floorboard light to see things at night if you have a floor shift or manual tranny

    Good idea, but I don't have any blanks to the left of the wheel. The clutch cancel and RR Diff Lock have taken both spots.

    I'm going to Photoshop something of how the rocker switch could look in the headliner directly above the rear view mirror. I'll post it here today if I have time.

    Yes, except I probably only need 2-3 slots. That's cool though. Where can I get a switch housing? And, are the rocker/carling style buttons too deep for the 1st gen headliner? There doesn't seem to be a lot of room above the headliner, not like 2nd gens.
