    OE Auxiliary Buttons - Reverse lights mod - Where to find?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I would like to add some auxiliary switches to my dash panel but have them retain the OE look of the dash buttons. There are 2 blanks on my panel that I can use, but I need to know what kind of switch would be best.

    For some background, for the first mod, I am planning on installing some super bright auxiliary backup lights for parking. These will also serve as a "EFF OFF" switch for bungholes in Los Angeles that love to drive around with their high beams on constant.

    I've been searching, but have not found anything for the C6 buttons. A funk button would be sweet for this job, but it doesn't exist in our flavor. I'm thinking the other switch will be left for turning my sub on/off when transporting the wife and kid.

    I imagine that something like an 'ESP off' button can be repurposed if push comes to shove. The best would be a simple SPST switch with a blank face.

    All suggestions welcome

    Thanks for the replies.

    I saw those switches. I think I will get the parking one and if I retrofit the front parking sensors, I will repurpose it back. Now to find one that will look half decent in my car. I think I will go for a genuine article as most of these switches have nasty scratched up finishes.

    I'm going to keep thinking this one through and post back my mod if I go through with it.
