Default OTRATTW switches and Daystar panel

They fit just fine. No mods or sanding required.

Funny, I had to sand mine to get them to seat properly (OTRATTW warned me before I purchase them). I notice in your picture your switches are bent slightly to the side - because the covers are a little too big. You don't have to sand off too much, and with the help of a Sharpie you can't even tell:

If you look really close at the top of the switches when you have them both turned on you'll see they don't sit completely flat - because the cover is just a little too wide. I just used a palm sander on the sides and when they sat correctly I got a Sharpie and made the white plastic black again. Just be careful to only sand the sides (not the front).

I just saw it. You don't have to take that much off at all. Maybe a mm from each if even that much.

It was maybe about half the thickness of plastic on the side of the switch.

Those look great. Just ordered my daystar panel, now to order the switches. OTRATTW has so many to choose from. I only need two switches for my roof rack lights, might get another for the rear lights (or only wire them to reverse lights).

Let's see some other samples that others have done.

Does this set up look stock in person? Looks great in the pics, but just curious. Also might use one spot for my cobra cb

Looks just like the pictures. The lettering and illustrations look professional. Look at the close-up shots. Also the "white" is etched from the rear to allow the light to pass through.

The color of the LEDs are different than the stock switches. Also the shape of the switches are different than the stock switches.

I think that most would guess that they re after-market because of the size/shape of the switches, and color of the LEDs, not because of the lettering.
