Switch just for the sake of having switches? If you don't have a need for extra accessories, why add them just so you have a neat switch on the dashboard?

an expansion on downshift's idea. a switch for the parking lights. a friend of mine added the switch because his light switch didn't work. it kills every light (dunno about breaks) except for the headlights when their on. very useful for po po avoidance. but you didn't hear it from me

It's all about how you label. Just make it a switch to turn on a red LED in the dash, and label it "death to passenger." Someone will eventually ask what it does, then say "you'll see..." and flip the switch.

Nope. Which is why I recommend that the relay be connected to IGN or ACC so that it will turn on and off automatically.

well, you could put one in and label it

'Ejector seat' or 'fire missile' or 'oil slick'

LMAO

Um, why not just leave it empty?
If you have a system in your car, you could put a rheostat in there that would control the bass level, that way, when pulling up to the light, you can TURN DOWN! your bass(unless you're 17 and like to show off)


Or put mad neon under your car...
That's the hotness...

Ive always wondered how to wire up one of the switches that disable all the lights. Brakes, blinkers, everything. Is there one relay somewhere that controls them all?

All this wiring is in the back of Haynes manual, and in the factory service manual.

your parking lights run on a single circut so a switch there would cut all side markers, fronts markers, tail lights and licence plate lights. the blinker wire runs around there somewhere, i\'m not sure. but yea a switch on that circut will cut the parking lights
