When it gets dark, I can’t see the toggle switches on my dash for my horn, navigation lights, shower, etc. I would like to have them lit individually from behind the switch. I guess a glow in the dark kind of thing. Any ideas on how to go about that?

These switches are industry standard Carling switches. So you can replace them with the thousands of third party switches on Ebay and Amazon. Just look at the ones with a wiring schematic, as you will want ones that you can tie that light in with your dash power, or running lights if you only want them on after dark.

Good luck!

Ha! I get it. I just don’t know my panel well enough to get what I need. Takes about four try’s.

I replacedall mine with RockerSwitchPros.com parts. They are lighted on both sides, genuine Carling switches. These are currently off in the pic, when you turn them on, the other side illuminates as well.

The covers are all new as well, you design them with whatever icon and wording you want.

What gauge is that in the center (digital vs analog speedometer)?
