I am pleased with how this came out. I've had the idea for quite some time, but couldn't do anything about it until I actually installed my strobes and wired up the switches.
When I install my interior neons, I'll add a switch right next to the momentary switch that's there.

Here are some pics of the project:

thats looks coo. Is it for NOS?

 

Nice...how long did it take you to do?

 

Not too long... Probably about 4 or 5 hours of cutting, drilling, sanding, painting, fitting, etc.

I didn't do it all at once so I'm not sure of the total time.

 

what are they for?.. got any more mini badges?

 

no, it's for strobes. read what he said

i like how that came out, my friend was looking to install some switches in a panel in place of the cup holders on his car, but i think that's a little more... sleeper

 

Opps. hehe, I was too busy looking at the badge

 

do you have a writeup for it? Im thinkin about gettin strobes...Did you have to take the dash apart?

 

The 2 switches there are for the strobes (toggle for on/off, push button for pattern changes) and I'll be adding another toggle switch when I install my interior neons.

Nismo- the "mini-badge" is actually off of a Pathfinder's rear hatch (I think 2001, not sure). Cost was about $22 at the dealership IMO it's a great little addition to the center dash/console

 

Wow...looks good. That's a good idea no matter what the switches are for

 

very nice....

Very James Bond looking. I like it!

 

awsome job man! i'd like to see a write up on that also.

 

i 2nd that write up

 

nice!!!

 

make me one!!! writeup!!!!

 

dam arraffio, that came out sweet as h*ll. Good job, nice creativity on your part.

You got the 60 watt or 90 watt kit?

 

60 watt

 

I have a crappy version of that for my antenna It has a light on it!



How'd you fashion that metal piece? that's awesome!

 

I actually stumbled across the metal piece I used. If you remove the ashtray and look on the back of it, there is a curved metal plate back there. What I did was remove the metal plate, cut some edges and bent it to size so it fit the way it does.
Originally I was going to use some ABS plastic and design something, but I came across this and it worked perfectly.

 

I knew that thing looked familiar...

 

Cool...nice job!

 

looks good

 

Why the hell would you want strobes on a car?? They always look soooooo lame!!!!

 

if they are done correctly they look sweet

 

 

very nice work!

 

You've obviously never seen Whelen strobes

...probably only those $15 sets that barely make a flash, now those are lame.

 

....your giving me ALOT of new ideas Tony, i think i may relocate all 5 of my switches this weekend now. I think ill wire up some LED's too so i know when they are on

Ant

 

OK...and since you are the wiring wiz you can help me make mine light up as well




:thumbs up:

 

That looks incredible. Polished VI.........NICE.

arrafio: I like the switches location. I put mine in the coin holder spots.
