Post subject:	Finding switches in the dark
Hi All, I was driving home late the other night after watching some NASCAR with a friend... had a bit of trouble locating the wiper switch in the dark... Do any of you have any fancy solutions for finding those switches in the dark... or do you just do it by memory? I guess most of the time its not so bad, with moon light and street lights, but that particular night it was totally black... bleh also, secondly... is it possible to buy the platic cover that goes over the seat belt buckle... one of mine is missing

In our work truck the end of the switch illuminates when then are switched on. I'm sure you could wire it up to light up with the lights circuit instead. Like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Car-SPST-Ill ... 51e&_uhb=1 Or maybe even these. You could paint most of it with a black paint and have the red showing on the end or the bottom? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SPST-12V-TOG ... 7f7&_uhb=1 Or you could just fumble around in the dark by memory

Glow in the dark tape is effective.

Here are the three methods I've used- 1. Memory fumble 2. Wait for a car behind you to light the the dash 3. A neon wire under the dash. Gives off just enough reflected light off the carpets to spot the dash
