A switch will be placed under the red purge switch for my fan switch. It needs to be a toggle switch. It will also have the text "Fans" underneath it as well so therefore space will be limited. If anyone has any ideas for a nice looking toggle switch small enough in the limited space please post up

He probably meant this one:

...it will look much better if you put the black cover on it that it comes with.

I think you should just put another one like the two on the left but sideways or one of these sideways:

BUT if it were my car and I had already sprung the extra money for the nice panel I would just get the entire SLP Fan Switch Kit that would come with the perfect switch for that spot:

So, what'll it be :)?

There's not enough room for another toggle switch and with the text to fit in there.

And I already have a fan switch installed so paying for another kit just for the switch would be kinda pointless in my case. I apreciate the help

Do the round one Brian. It will look good.

Buy the kit, use the switch, re-sell the kit with a different or no swtich... Or just call SLP up and say you need to buy another switch because yours broke...

I would use one of these:

I first thought to use one of the oval switches on it's side, but it would take up too much room and be too close to the cig lighter and heater switch. A round switch of the same design would look better:

The round switch would be my vote... I'd keep with the theme and put the LED side on top though...

No I don't and that's why I went with the non ciggy route. Finally got it a couple days ago and installed it. Here's the pics:

Will have new blue led toggle switches for the arm and heater once I find them.

I personally would try to get all the same color LED and color switches. I mean mix-match on the LED isn't bad, but that loner gray one looks funky >_>

Other then that, GJ!

Read the last sentence in my last post :)

The switches in my post are just temporary. Got two of these switches on the way. Should ahve them in the mail tomorrow. Oh yeah they're blue!
