Those switches are damm sexy!

You would need one switch for Parkers and another for Headlights. Not sure how you would do self parking wipers (with a relay would be an option) and two speed wipers would just about be out of the question. Guess you'd have to go to column wipers.


Ive decided to go the column route, but previously when I was looking at these switches I was thinking to have the headlights and an illuminated toggle switch next to them for the headlight/park option and also the two speed wipers.

Thanks minola, those with the LED backlight ring bit are quite nice.

It would be possible to have a setup where the swith is latching the lights:
EG press once for parkers, again for headlights, and again to turn them off.

I quite like these ones, described as anti-vandal switches:

Available from here, US$16-ish. Probably available closer to home.

The downside is no icon on the switch, but you could acid etch your own switch panel, something I plan to do once I finish the paint, engineering etc.


Have some of these already, although deciding not to use them as the are a bit hard to push in (finger tips too wide),& no i don't have giant fingers :lol: Having said that build quality actually looks ok & LED looks great

They are deceptively small. My one fits into a 19mm hole. Those Jaycar ones are more like 12mm from memory. I could be wrong though.

Don't forget to use relays too.
