Just wire them into the ignition and they will not work without the key.

I have a 6 speed and I went with the daystar panel. But I mounted it like this.




People screwing with them is a big issue for me as well, but I wanted them to have constant power without having to turn on the ignition. So when things warm up I will be installing a power switch somewhere that will turn on an aux fuse block that all of those switches are wired through!

How do you wire them through the ignition? All I saw was a big wire bundle. Which one is the ignition?

Can't you run power off the cig lighter/12V plug and limit power to when the ignition is on?

Default RR Panel

I just took my panel out, drilled a hole for the light switch. Used a swith from the parts store. It is just a flat rocker switch and is gray. My wife drove the jeep and did not know the switch was there. It is not obvious like the switchs shown on the threads. I don't know about everybody else, but I have a hard time spending good money when I can do it myself. I saw this on somebody else's jeep a while back.
