    For anyone doing these panels, especially the lower center panel, and looking for a good easy way to get wiring to your switches, I personally use multi-conductor speaker wire. Depending on how many switches you need, there are plenty of options. I have a single run of METRA 9-conductor 18awg from the new switch panel, across under the dash, and through the firewall to my aux fuse/relay panel under the hood. This way, I have 9 wires inside one single casing so each of my 4 new switches has a power out, (4) and I can have 1 or 2 power in (I have one constant hot, and one tied to my high beams) plus a ground wire and an illumination wire (so the switch lights turn on with your dash lights)

    That uses 8 of the existing wires, and I have 1 extra for future expansion (I will probably remove the wireless charger button if I ever need a 5th switch)

    This same technique applies to any switch panel location

    These are killer pods. Can you make a custom 8 switch rectangle pod? I want to add it to the area just between my sunroof and overhead console.
    FYI, I am looking to use the narrow switches for this install. Thanks in advance.

    Easy way to see if they are in stock, works with all (I belive) of @mesojdm products.... Go to post #1, Click on buy now, click check out, if it says "sold out" they are if it asks you to put in your PP password etc.. then it is available.

    Meso does NOT run pre-orders, lists, snowflake specials, etc. he adds inventory as he is able to make them and tyically posts that he just dropped more inventory.

    EASY as pie... :D

    They show up for me on my phone and computer. They are big pics so might just need time to load? I'll keep checking
