So you basically needed power to supply the switches for their LED, just to switch on the cathodes that need power themselves. Arsed.

@Omanlp well yea. you can get switches without the lights but if you get LED switches than you need power going to them.

Hey how did u cut the holes for the switches ?

[moose0422]

I used a drill then manually made adjustments if I needed to.

is it possible to use one switch for all of the cathodes?

[moose0422]

Yes just solder all of the cables together and connect them to the one switch

@rawrmadmonkey You can get them at Radio Shack. The model number is 275-0023--at least that's what it says on the package they came in.

hey man nice mod I am doing the same thing, just wanted to ask a question, so you have the red and yellow wire hooked up to the switch do i take the black wire that is attached to the molex and inverter plug and split it 3 way, so it goes to the from the molex power, to inverter plug to the switch.

Does this work with a 10A switch LED?

Would you need to ground it if you did NOT have illuminated toggle switches?

Nice tutorial, but you are docked one point... 4/5. Why, you may be wondering? First, the good. You were very thorough, spoke clear, gave good ideas, and had great visuals. Now, the bad... You only get 4/5 because you had some ugly/unorganized wiring. lol. But, once again... Nice vid overall.
