Bad news guys. Just talked to Jim over at OTRATTW today and he explained to me that the new laser etched switches are 1/16 of an inch thicker than the current standard switches he is currently selling. Since the switches are just that much thicker they add up when you try to install all four onto the Rugged Ridge "A" pillar Switch Pod and will not fit. He did say he is working on a solution but for the time being you cannot put all four of the new switches into the Rugged Ridge "A" Pillar Switch Pod .

Call up Jim and talk with him about it, he is very knowledgeable and doesn't try to see you a product you don't need or can't use.

All blue.
Blue looks super cool.....but it is super blinding at night....you may want to think about that, especially if you are going onto the A-pillar......just my .02.....these switches are awesome though.....I am putting a sport cage in my rig so I don't think the A-pillar switches will work....still looking for viable options...I do like the switches that mount above the radio, but they are kind of out there with price.....I'll find something!!!!! There is plenty out there.

I am currently running 3 blue switches on my A pillar for lights. These will be replacing those. Edit: Zombie will turn everything on, just for fun.

Well with the Issues They have been having trying to get the new switches to fit properly in our A-Pillar pods they have looked into another supplier that carries a switch that is a little closer to our fit needs, they look very similar to the others just skinnier ... they will look way better once they put there own designs on them ...

I orderd a few of the new swithes the other day and yes they are definitely a little wider than the old ones. The fit was a little too tight for the daystar lower dash panel, so I shaved a littel off the side of each switch on the bench top sander. Problem solved.
