Switches. I'm now at the electrical stage. I plan on a custom rewire with negative ground and LEDs. Is there any recommendations on switches. I don't think i need a switch to turn on a switch (i.e. the 2-position light switch) and thinking about killing my kill switch (i've read they sometimes fail on kill). I also want to run the dip beam all the time, so i won't need a switch for that, just the main beam. I'm also not not sure i need a push button for the main beam. That the leaves the following switches unused:

- 2 position light switch
- dip switch
- main beam push button
- kill switch
- spare

Any thoughts on repurposing these switches?

I plan to replace the power point with a usb charger. I could use one of the non-push button switches for that so that i could turn it off and on (which really isn't a requirement, but what am i going to do with all these switches). What about emergency flashers. That would need an always on switch. I really can't think of any other use for the push button switches. I'll probably keep the main beam button, but can't think of a use for the other two other than for a future starter. Maybe a nitrous button

[QUOTE="TomU, post: 579929, member: 7984"] Switches. I'm now at the electrical stage. I plan on a custom rewire with negative ground and LEDs. Is there any recommendations on switches. I don't think i need a switch to turn on a switch (i.e. the 2-position light switch) and thinking about killing my kill switch (i've read they sometimes fail on kill). I also want to run the dip beam all the time, so i won't need a switch for that, just the main beam. I'm also not not sure i need a push button for the main beam. That the leaves the following switches unused: - 2 position light switch - dip switch - main beam push button - kill switch - spare Any thoughts on repurposing these switches? I plan to replace the power point with a usb charger. I could use one of the non-push button switches for that so that i could turn it off and on (which really isn't a requirement, but what am i going to do with all these switches). What about emergency flashers. That would need an always on switch. I really can't think of any other use for the push button switches. I'll probably keep the main beam button, but can't think of a use for the other two other than for a future starter. Maybe a nitrous button :cool: [/QUOTE]
