I am very soon going to be adding some strobe lights, reverse beeper (on a switch for plowing), other lights, etc. to my truck. I need to hook them up to toggle switches. I don't really want to drill into the dash so I wanted to buy a box that has all the switches and wiring for a more clean and professional look.

So, I went around to about 5 places today and no one has one. I found one online at Jeg's but with the shipping and the high price it is not really what I want. Here is the link so you kind of know what I am looking for: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...58752_-1_10409

Does anyone know where I can get one at a reasonable cost? Jim (Blackstock): are you able to get something like this? If so, PM me a price.

It doesn't need to be rated for high amperage because the strobe lights are only fused at 5 amps and any high amp things will be on relays anyways.

Any help or leads would be great.

psssst Matt we have a want ads thread you know I've seen them somewhere down here before I just gotta remember where. I'll keep my eyes open for you Matt





Jim

 

We do? I wish the Chapter Leader would put it somewhere I could find it.

Thanks Jim.

This place would fall apart without me Matt! I'm gonna go check Vehicle venture in Windsor for you on Monday. All they carry is truck parts so I should be able to find you one there

We have lots of them available. Popular for the stockers and coppers. Painless as Jegs shows has the most selection. Also popular (and less $) is Moroso. You can get them basic like this or lighted/fused . You might want to consider the lighted version cause after a long tiring night of plowing you'll look silly with the blue through Timmy's drive through

 

cool you just saved me a trip to Vehicle venture. Means I save some $$$$




Jim

 

I'll take a look here too Matt. There's a place across town that carries alot of accessories for tractor-trailers, etc. I'll get back to you if I come across something ...

Maybe I should've read the rest of the posts before I started ... lol

 

Is that an enclosed box Jim? I think I would prefer the lit switches. Do you have a picture of it?

I leave my blue light on the whole time I am plowing...even when I am IN Tim's drinking coffee. I LOVE strobes!

Maybe lighted rocker switche like this?


Its $132 retail, $110 your price. More at http://www.moroso.com/catalog/catego...?catcode=42113

 

Ignited Performane makes LED illuminted switches that you buy in different colours and then mount in their face plates. More for the tuner crowd but a good concept

Now, THAT is what I am talking about. What is my cost on part number 74181 (second one down on left) on that page?

-Matt

 

$134 and looks like 1-2 weeks order time

 

OK, thanks Jim. I will have to talk to my Dad. He is the one paying for this. Business expense.

You can also try an electronics wholesale place Matt.

They have all sorts of this kind of quality stuff for Low $$$$$.
