Default Mods with switches???

I recently put in an LED rocker switch for the Dual Mode Exhaust. I put it where the cigarette lighter used to be. It was extremely easy to do. I thought it would be much worse than it was. If anyone needs help, I will be glad to offer tips....

Anyone have any ideas on any other mods that could use LED switches?? I want to add a couple more to the area where the ashtray currently is. Maybe a green, red, white LEDS but they have to serve some purpose.

Here are pics of the cigarette lighter/NPP mod, before and after:

I don't know what the firewall is, except in computer terms. However, I will post pics of how I ran it... pretty simple though. The 2 line wire I used is white, and unless you have your face on the passenger floor, there is no way you can see it... it is totally hidden except for the area that is already unhidden due to the way the carpet is built (I'
m referring to the very edge of the carpet where the glove box meets the carpet.... Ehh... I'll post pics tomorrow when I can go outside and take some.... too dark and raining now... I hate when Mother Nature ruins my beautiful vette....

The firewall is basically the wall that seperates the engine bay and passenger compartment
