I mounted a switch box that I had from an old blue light bar. I referbised it and stuck it on the pannel that covers the fuse box. It has 4 switches and indicator lights. Ill take a picture later

ebay is an amazing thing

Thanks for all your help guys

I decided to use a piece of marlite that I had, custom cut it to fit and painted it to match the interior. And I made sure to leave room for future switches.
Aside from the chrome toggles, I think it has that factory look

It stands out in the photo, but when looking at it for real, it looks the same as the rest of the black trim

Now that I really look at it, the rocker switches probably would have looked better. It never really even crossed my mind to look for those until you said it...lol
