headlight switch
 
for those not using a stock headlight switch, i would like to see some pics and get info on what you are using. through bad planning mine is under my dash (that was the good planning) and nestled in between and behind two VDO gauges (the bad planning since i didn't expect to have under the dash gauges). there just isn't enough room to have the knob on the shaft. i need to switch to a toggle or something.

interested in info on:
  • style
  • make
  • source
  • wiring converstion from stock

Checkout the rocker switch kits from Watson Street Works. I'll be running a carbon fiber dash cover and an aftermarket fuse block, so I'm planning to fab a panel with a couple of the mini rockers for my lights and hazards that will fit in the old fuse box cutout under the dash.

Zen,
I'm running Watson's mini rockers for most of my electrical... except the headlight switch :rolleyes:
I kept the original since I wanted to keep the dimmer for the gauge lights, and didn't feel like figuring out how to make the other work... If you don't care it is easy enough to wire them up to a 30A relay (or one each side if you're running H4 or bigger lamps) and use any switch you want.
Cheers,
Dave

thanks for the info.
