This a great idea, i was looking for a place to put switches for my locker mod, i even found the exact switch in stock locally at The Source (used to be radio shack).

I did this on my 08. Only thing that worries me is that I have a leak coming out between the two panels on the a-pillar and it runs over my switch. No corrosion so far. Works just fine.

I have an 08 Rubi and the switches in the OEM pod are all "MOMENTARY" switches. This means you will have to get "locking or latching relays" for any devices you control via these switches. If you don't already know, momentary means, you press the spring loaded switch once to trigger the relay (it locks with device on) and the switch returns to it's stand-by position; and you press the switch again to release the relay (device off) again, the switch returns to the stand-by position. So, the switch does not remain in "ON" or "OFF" position.
Also, these switches are not "lighted" when "ON"; because the device status indicator light is in the instrument cluster. They do have an illumination light on them to locate them when it's dark.
Hope this helps with your planning.

Many Thanks
I've been looking for a solution to mount a couple of switches on my Rubicon for lights and this was just the ticket. I didn't want that aftermarket look of switch pods and your fix looks totally stock. Thanks again for sharing
