Mike37- Jeep looks good. Is that a stock roof console? If so what year is it from? I like the way that looks. Thanks

For the ones mounted in the overhead consule, do you have to look behind you to operate the switches?

I have to give a whole hearted recommendation to this vendor. I bought three contura switches last week from him for my OBA, fogs, and Hella lights. After test wiring them all I went to remove the quick disconnects from the back to install the switches and one of the terminals actually removed itself from the switch body. A quick call to OTRATTW and he apologised and sent out a new switch the same day. He even sent out a free rocker removal tool to take the actuator off my old switch and install on the new one he's sending. Thats great customer service and he will be getting any repeat business I have I know that. :yelclap:

yeah OTRATTW is where I got my Carlings. This is what I did... mentioned earlier in this thread. I really like the result.

where did you get the plastic filler panel? I'm never sure where to get the stupid stuff, nor do I know what its called to search the internet for a supplier.

edit: don't mean the thing the switches snap into, i ment the part that he cut and screwed over the cubby hole.

I fabbed that part from 1/16 (I think) sheet stock I had laying around my garage, painted black. I just cut it to make it cover the cubby hoie (which had to be cut out, too to make room for the switches and their connectors) and then cut one big hole for the switch mounting panels (got everything from Waytek Wiring) and ran power to under the console, grounded the switches, and ran the cat-5 to my FitchBox under the drivers seat.

Good luck with your project,
