I'm about to buy some toggle switches to go on a carbon dash. I can't decide if these are a neat solution or if they just look wanky.

What do you think?

i think they sort the problem out of having a switch AND a light to show it on.

I use them on my car, they can brake quite easily and the blue led ones are so bright the dazzle you when driving in the low light. Ok for road car, but not really robust enough for track use

I had some of these at work and they were a bit on the flimsy side.

What would you suggest as an alternative Carl?

I was thinking maybe just the plain metal versions with an auxilary light above?

Why do you need a light on each switch?

Agreed. Can you not just install them so all switches are on when pointing up? That woun't be too difficult to remember

P.S Yeas, I think those switches are wanky

What are you using the switches for?

I can sort you out some flush fit LED mounting lenses and various colour LED's if you need seperate aux lights, I can sort the brightness to what you want too.
