Aux Switch / Fog Light Switch and custom dashboard panel DIY

Desurface said:

Used a similar idea from an old thread here. I'm running two sets of Diode Dynamics pod lights and used a factory kick panel from a 4k tow model and a little piece of abs plastic. Super easy swap for anyone wanting to add extra switches with a clean look.

A couple of questions, One, where did you get the ABS piece of plastic that you used? Two, where did you get the lower kick plate piece I assume from a dealership? Rough cost on both if you are willing to share that info.

You can buy ABS plastic sheets on Amazon, have used many for electronics projects.

Neatly done! I love those switches, by the way. Have one for my driving/fog lights. I'm guessing you didn't use the blank panel on the OEM headlight module because there wasn't enough room for both switches?

I just ordered the kick panel. How did you attach the abs to the back of the kickpanel?

Thank you.
