nope. The lighted **** only came from England. There was a group buy a while back and thoughts of doing another. If you can get the search function to work, do a search in the interior/exterior forum.

This is just a quick follow-up. I ended up cutting the light that illuminates the switch at night as it over powers the LED's.

The switch has been holding up well and works like a champ. The only thing is the green LED is still dim.

7 racer - NICE WORK! I love seeing innovation on this forum. I like the look better than driving around with the glove compartment open like some people do.

Thanks. Just some more quibbles....I had a hard time making a perfect mask during the painting. I used the inside of a letter "O" from a sticker set. While this worked in getting a nice shape, the glue wasn't as good as masking tape and didn't leave as perfect of an edge as I would have liked.

i think so...if the 1/4 is the standard size for a stereo jack than thats all you need. just make sure it's a stereo plug and not mono

i definitely commend your work on this.... but wouldn't it have saved a lot of time to just spend the 100 bucks on the remote switching device greddy sells? Maybe its just me, but i would much rather pay for the convenience. Rather than the work involved and trips to the store to get the parts needed. Anyways, great work!!!

As far as I know the Greddy switch doesn't have a indicator for high/low boost. Additionally it cost 130 bux? It is controlled by RF and you can velcro it to your steering wheel....

I just thought this looked much better for me.
