    Is it possible to use an SPOD or similar power distribution system with OEM switches Vs the switches the system comes with? I wanna use something like the Cali raised OEM switch panel on the left hand side of the steering wheel and not have a big switch panel installed somewhere. Thanks for the help in advance

    You can rig up a mount to get the HD switch on the left side. It's worth having their module because you can customize the switches to do things (strobe, dim, flash, etc.). This is where I put mine.

    Your going to have issues. The SPOD style switches are designed for momentary action, the OEM style that you can get are usually latched. But the question really is why? If you’re using real OEM style switches there is no point in the SPOD it’s way overpriced if you have a basic understanding of electronics.
