Default Need an idea

So I ended up doing a light modification (https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...light-solution) where I bought some LED strips to brighten up the dash/cup holder area. With the LEDs came a momentary push button switch that I did not use (normal is off, push down to turn on, must hold if you want it to stay on, springs back to off position when you let go). Me being obsessed with my Jeep and always wanting to add something cant think of an idea what to use the push button for . If anyone has some good ideas please share them. Thanks!

I use 2 momentary push buttons as my garage door openers. I gutted the opener, stashed it in the access panel to the drivers left, soldered some longer wires to the innards of the opener, and ran the wires up the A pillar, drilled 2 tiny holes in the area by the visor for the buttons. They are pretty well hidden and ensures my opener won't get stolen. It was fun, cheap, included drilling and soldering and kinda practical.

Thanks for the ideas guys both great.

@Riptide how much would I have to spend to get a decent air horn? Trying to keep it somewhat cheap just dropped alot of $$ on bumpers/winch/flares/rims and after winter going for new tires/lift/gears and such.

@NormalJeep good idea, I think I saw the write-up on here before, I like the location where you have the switch, might have to do this.

Keep the ideas coming

Airhorns would be cool. . . .

I was thinking more along the lines of rockets launchers for traffic, but suppose this would be the better route.

Haha I like that idea. Maybe not the better route but would come in handy during rush hour
