Guest Phil/TX Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I am looking for a SPDT toggle switch with a lighted handle. I could also use a rocker switch, if it mounts with a single threaded post on the rear. I am trying to avoid putting an idiot light on the dash of my Le Mans. I have installed heated grips, and have located the switch where it is out of the way, but not out of sight, so a lighted handle would work fine.

al_roethlisberger Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Quick question, why do you need DPDT? My heated grips are wired in series, so I would only need a SPST.... or in my case I have the rheostat adjuster from HotGrips to adjust temp. Oh wait... are you using the DPDT to choose high/low? Duh.. nevermind Yeah, I looked around for a moment too, and all I found was DPDT *or* SPST lighted... not both <_> I'll keep looking around later. Speaking of car stuff, now I get to go crawl under the truck and change my lower radiator hose which sprung a leak on the way home from work today... *sigh* Should be fun, just what I was looking forward to tonight. ...got an 8am meeting in the morning, so it's a "gotta do it tonight" kinda thing al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callison Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I used a real small plastic box from Radio Shack with a small switch. It also has a light and is just mounted using double sided foam carpet tape. Pretty innocuous and does no damage. The resistor is tucked out of sight somewhere else as it won't fit in the box.

Guest Ragin' Pit Bull Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Any good aftermarket car or truck shop that sells PIAA lights should have them. PIAA lights come with those type of switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Indeed, that's a good suggestion Victor ...and to build on that, check out any 4x4 shops that sell lots of accessory lights, etc., or RV(trailers, etc) shops too. There are always lots of accessories in those places that need lots of switches! al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
