Recommend me a switch!
Hi all,
Im at the point where I need to order an indicator switch and a main\high beam headlight switch. The current ones are old and look ugly. I would like
some toggle switches but they all seem too short or 'classic' looking. I use my car for track days and I want it looking functional. Also
easy to find when wearing gloves and probably cold!
So what ones do you lot have and what ones should I have?
Thanks in advance.
Good luck with the winter work, roll on the summer!

I'm using toggle switches with rubber covers. Simple,discrete and easy to use with gloves.
For the lights I've used a Durite 3 position side and headlight switch (pt no 0-645-00) which is Off / side on / side and head on. It's
the only toggle switch I could find that had that configuration. Dip and main are wired through a change over relay, tiggered by an seperate on/off
toggle switch.

Yep I liked your idea and have gone down the same route. I never thought of the rubber covers for the toggle switches but as I am respraying the dash
black I think it would look nice with black switches. If I want to break up the black alittle I can easily take the rubber boots off.
Just went to Maplin a brough what I needed so thanks adithorp.
I have savage switches for lights on a flash beam. The other switch I need is just to switch between fixed low and high.
Seems like nobody else was out there to contribute so cheers again,
