    Holy chit, I've done a lot already!!
    I feel your pain. Last year we kept getting a hole in the snow pack in our front yard. Damn water line broke. Couldn't wait til summer, had to be done in spring. Ugh what a mess. Good luck tiger and I hope its an easy, and cheap fix.

    Hey, I really appreciate being considered for the 4x4 switch but you can pass it on to someone else. I traded my tacoma and my tundra can't use the switch.

    No problem. It's going 2 B warm. You can just pull the switch and work on it on a work bench or the kitchen table. Nice to have a barn.

    OK, So i went through the numbers, and i revised my ebay listing. I dropped the price, but am now offering all the color options at the same price as stock. This is as good as i can do.

    Oh and guess what US Patent Pending!!!!

    Great work rcbs! That's a lot of work!

    I can't believe people hacked into your site. What loser will do that when you are trying to do something nice for people.

    I commend you also for setting up the sales and ebay sites. No small task. I can't believe the great price you are offering everybody for all your R&D.

    For people who asked about amber/orange colour, you may want to try the LEDs I used. The colour matched perfectly.

    Type - NTE Part No. 30033
    Size - 3mm T1
    Colour - Clear Orange
    Brightness - 100 MCD (I Think)
    Forward Voltage (VF) - 2.6V
    Forward Current (IF) - 25mA
    Viewing Angle - 10 degrees (A wider angle would be preferable, although mounting the LEDs directly on the circuit board made the lighting more even.)

    You can check out the picture of my finished product on my DYI post.

    Link here. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lighting/69069-cheap-4x4-switch-illumination-step-step-write-up.html

    By the way, for those who may consider doing it yourself. It won't save you a lot of money, since you have to buy the etchant, and all the materials, and rcbs is sellings his at such a reasonable price. I did it for the fun, challenge and bragging rights.

    Great job rcbs! :canada:
