sheep... i've said it once, and i'll say it again... I'M FULL OF IDEAS!!

Mike... i'm hooking my door locks up to the swicth that turns on my interior cathodes. the walmart lights in the rear are on a seperate switch.

here is how my switches are configured....

1 switch operates the underbody leds
1 switch operates the Varad suspension lights (not yet installed)
1 switch operates the interior cathodes in my dash, floor boards, doors, door locks, and my 'new' walmart idea.
1 switch operates my bright ass strobes
and my underhood & grill lights are run off of hood pin wire thats for my alarm/remote start. They come on when the hood is open, and turn off when its closed.. so no 'switch' for those.
1 switch in the hatch operates the walmart lights in the rear windows
1 switch in the hatch operates the purple neons in the sub box.

I'm gonna light ip the night!!!

Here's my switch set up so far:

1 switch in the engine bay turns on my grill cathodes, engine cathodes, and headlight cathodes.
1 switch in factory slot turns on fog lights
1 switch in factory slot turns on vent LEDs
1 switch in factory slot turns on under dash/seat cathodes
1 switch under hand brake turns on cupholder LEDs, and is dependent on switch that turns on vent LEDs
knob on steering column that turned on rear wiper now turns on hatch Cathodes
I'm putting a switch in each little handle on the arm rest part on inside of the doors for the LED door locks, I know it's a lot, but I don't care.
I've got some other stuff to install so I dunno what I'll do with those yet.

1 foglight switch stock
1 switch down by the emergancy break for under the seat cathodes
1 switch down by the emergancy break for the cup holder lights
1 hood pin under the hood for the cold cathodes under the hood
1 controller for the varad underbody kit

Here's my concoction: (similiar to those already listed)

1 switch for Underdash/Seat/vent lighting
1 switch for vent lighting
1 switch to light up the audio in the back
1 switch to light up engine bay
1 switch to light suspension lighting
1 switch to light underbody
1 switch to hidden headliner/overhead lighting
-------------------------------------------------------
Total: A whole lot of fucking switches! But definately a "glow stick... I have all the cathodes from Oznium and Lighting from Varad ready. Some is installed but the overhead stuff I'm waiting on until I redo my headliner in black and make some custom molding to hide the cathodes so they are not seen...

ok good god, you guys have switched everywhere ... I think, when I start doing lighting, I'm going to make a little switch board to go into my center consol, or even in my glove box, or in the little cubby space, or something. If I have to walk around my car to hit all the switches I think I'll go insane.

^^ and to that, I have one switch that controls 3 of my 4 CCFL tubes I have inside my car :md:

Just curious..... Can you use a switch box that you would use for air suspension to operate your lights????? Just an idea if it's possible.

Anything is possible .. I have switches for;

-My Neon
-My Doors (Independant)
-My Air Suspension
-My Turn Signals
-My Lights

I have also in the past used a blazer driver door panel (4Switches) in a 2 door Sonoma and used the extra 2 switches to run my air suspension.

Here is a pic of my center console, Old, pic, will update soon. Enjoy ..
