    Got everything on my dash deleted and now I’m reluctant to drill new holes. I’m looking for some ideas on what kind of shiny headlight switches you guys have found for your hot rods. Prefer chrome! Share links if it’s something really unique.

    It depends on the style, philosophy, and idiom of your build. A few pics would be useful.

    I've thought of using the stove selector switch at top left as a headlight switch, and the Public Works Department-style house light switches for fog lights etc. — through relays because these switches are rated for 240V and low amperage:

    I'd be going for a late-'20s sports-car idiom, though, hence a lot of clutter and mismatch. I'd expect that's a long way away from what you're doing.

  3. Is this for your Suburban, or something else?

  4. Depends on what your going for

    you can buy fancy knobs for the oem switches in most cases
    Big rigs have lots of styles of cool looking switches

    you can make your own

    or get some industrial switches
    Antique switches oem switches
