I recently wandered upon a site that was selling these cool toggle switches for mini's. These are the switched in the center console. The switches they were selling looked like a missle switch in a jet. It had a cool cover that you have to flip up in order to flip the switch as well as the LED light similar to the on found in the fog light switch. I could have swore that I found the link through the Vendor Directory but now I can't find it. Has anyone ever seen what I'm talking about, or know about a site where I can purchase a toggle switch?

Moss Mini has them, you can find them in the sponsor directory here on NAM or go to www.mossmini.com

 

Sorry but can't find any toggle switches at the MOSS.

There is a cheaper site out there...

search for "switch cover" in their search window and scroll down a little to see what appears to be the same ones that moss sells for about $10 bucks less

Heck if you want them without the switch covers you can find them for as cheap as $0.95 each...

I see but not like the OEM switches

 

How difficult are they to swap out?

 

From what it sounds like, that's not what the original posting was looking for though. He's was looking for something a little more aggresive with covers over them I think.

However, based on the design of the OEM switch panel, it may not be possible to get this affect without a lot of work. From Ian Cull's weblog http://www.gbmini.net/mtblog/archive...the_togg.shtml

 

yeah. the togle switch panel comes apart easily but is not necessairily easy to modify. I too was planning on switch covers but its going to require cutting into the plastic and probably modifying the hinge on the cover as well. Obviously I havent really thought it all through but I figured I'd use the switch cover with the existing toggels. There are a few reasons but the biggest to me is that the toggles always "return to center". In safety switches they, by design, always return to the off position when the switch is closed. I dont want my windows constantly trying to roll down when the cover is closed.

Thus, at least my plan, is to find a way to integrate the covers into the existing setup. No idea if it'll work though
