Mine are from custom rockers. Made the switch plate from sheet steel folded and covered. Room for one more switch for the led light bar that I hope to get one day. Also has the iPod cable and uhf mount. Fits without needing any screws, just wedged in. ;)

Cool, will keep an eye out. I was thinking of a console too. Was going to put the switches facing downwards tho. How do u find the glare from having the switches at eye level?

well for me the switches arnt really at eye level so i dont notice the glare from them but if it did bother you, you could just put another switch in haha to turn of the lights in the switches.

Nice, is it just propped in or screwed somehow?

Wedged in nice an tight, I tried to give it a matte black finish but it looked verrrry bad! So I just adhesed some spare carpet on top ;) one of the switched looks at a different level to the other as its not sitting in properly, just need to push it back better.

Hi,
I finally worked out how to post some pics, so i decided to show you my switches, had inspiration from some of you guys, but i decided to go one better, 1 switch better that is :lol:, hope you guys like them. I bought the switch panel on ebay, the switch panel is in seperate sections that clip together with 2 end sections, 7 switches fit nicely in the spare slot. the switch panel is held in with screws as the panel would not clip in.
The winch isolator switch is wired to the motor ground wire, to cut the earth. I still need to wire up some led reverse lights.

Motoz,
Bought from 4x4offroadclinic
Just need to remember to get 2 ends as well as however many centre panels you need.

Cowboy Dave,

Hi Dave,

Are you able to help me out as to where I could track down the OEM light switch (for driving lights) which you have in your vehicle, the switch which is located right next to the 'ASC OFF' switch. Mitsubishi spare parts says it is only supplied as a whole lighting kit which they are asking around $450+, fat chance.

Thank you,
Sharkey

Mate I'm afraid mine was not an OEM switch despite how it looks. One of the forum sponsors was trying to come up with a switch and they had two samples. Myself and another member grabbed them. It turned out they'd been made upside down. In the end they gave it away as unprofitable unfortunately.

Here are two switches that look like they might do the trick but I can't tell from the pics how you'd wire them in or whether they'll clip in properly:
