premaid Switch panel
Has anyone used these?
Would you think it would work for my JK to run my lights?
Do you think a guy would still need to run relays?

I found one in the Bargin cave for a half price..I was thinking what a time saver....and they appear to be high quality....
I was thinking if I remove the panel infront of the shifter below the locker buttons it should fit and allow two extra places for additional lighter outlets or maybe some sort of a power converter plug in?
Im thinking all i should have to do is run power to a block of relays (keeping it clean) and connect each relay to the proper switch...
running front, side, back lights off or each switch....
Any thoughts?
Oh and thanks for the response....

I would think that something like this would save you time and money. That panel you identified is pretty expensive ( I would assume even at a discount). This panel is pre-made for the exact spot you are looking at and much cheaper.

Just a thought. If you have already bought the panel, then I agree with the above poster. Take some pics along the way and write it up.

Dude, the Daystar panel is cheap, but doesn't come with the switches.
To the Original Poster: There are similar quality products out there for less cost.
I would advise against putting that on the panel in front of the shifter. I installed my switches there and wish I hadn't, it's pretty tight. That's why the Daystar panel comes out and up, gives room for the backsides of the switches.

I took a long time deciding on mine I have a switch panel that fits between the visors, I did that for a reason, I knew I would be adding lockers and lighs to my jeep. Lockers and Lights are installed and I can run them from my switch panel.
