Auxiliary Switches - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'll be installing two rocker switches in the whatever-it's-called panel. It will look way nicer and cleaner than having the switches or a separate boxed taped on underneath. What you see below is the lower hole.

One of these switches will control my foot well lighting. I don't know what the other would be for though. Underglow maybe...

...nah I'm just kidding.

Excuse the fact that the switch looks beat up. I'll be using new switches.

Are the pictures too big?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I remember this one caused lots of broken tvs.

im no electric expert or whatsoever. this works with a H11 harness and H11 bulb fogs? its going to overload the switch or something ?

boredom.is.me · 02-04-2013, 01:53 AM

How many watts are the foglights consuming? There really is no H11 harness. It is just some wires that are hooked up to H11 bulbs.

I still don't know what I would need a second switch for so I think I'm just goig to leave it at one for now. Ild rather not have a dummy switch.

Use the switch to trigger a relay. Problem solved.

Hardrock4445 · 02-04-2013, 02:27 PM

For interior lighting with not alot of draw, could you purchase an interior dimmer switch and use the blank spot? would cost more, but thats where I would go.

Ya, but you are either going to want it on or off, not half way. I don't really think its necessary.
