Anybody install these in their C6? I'm installing a Wet NOS Kit and was looking for some advice on were the best location to install the switches in my interior-I purchased a really cool "3 switch LED panel" Pilot style w/ red anodized covers similar to jet aircraft.
i posted this in a radar detector thread a while back, but you can see how i mounted some mini toggle switches
Its a direct wire escort smart cord and I wired mine direct to the passenger floorboard fuse area, installed the mute button thing in the dash and then ran the wires up through the driver "A" pillar and headliner. Since i dont have heated seats, which i didnt order when i got my allocation, i used the blank to install the mute button and lights. I removed the trim piece and modified the smart mute assy and then drilled holes for the lights, and carefully peeled off the decal and put it on the outside of the trim as you can see in the pics. This way, if i have to mute it, the button is right there and i dont have to raise my hand which will be seen in the window if one of the revenue collectors is right behind you. As for the other switches in the ash try area, they do other things. I removed the ash try, cut a piece of aluminum, layered with a couple layers of carbon fiber and mounted some switches and lights, so when the switches are flipped, the light comes on stating its powered. For now, one switch controls the exhuast valves (Z06), the next will control a laser jammer, the others arent doing anything yet, but will be soon. I have the wires for the other switches stubbed out to the passenger floor board.
Thanks for the compliments. Here is another pic, more of a close-up. I was going to use smaller screws, (the 4 that hold it in place), but i couldnt find any at work that i wanted and i was in a rush to get it put in. I will redo that later. Im not sure if i like the lights or not, they are a little brighter than i was looking for, mainly at night. I may make another plate without the lights or something later and carbon fiber it again.
