Default Switches

I just ordered some rigid dually LEDs for the windshield and I want to place the switch in my factory switch pod. Can anyone help tell me where I can order a perfect switch to place in the empty switch slots

Unfortunatly, unless something has drastically changed since the last time I was on the forum, I don't think you're going to have any luck. There's a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) that runs behind there that you won't be able to wire through. I'd recommend something like the Daystar lower dash panel with a single switch.

Can you use something like this?
MOPAR 4602508AF - MOPAR® OEM Rubicon Edition Switch Pod for 07-10 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

I was thinking you can put one of those push switches behind the plastic tabs so when you push them in it pushes the switch down in place?
You would probably also have to cover up the text on the tabs and then rename them.. Should be a quick and easy enough paint job though.

I was considering going with something like this:
Daystar KJ71034BK - Daystar Lower Dash Switch Panel for 11-13 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK with Automatic Transmission - Quadratec

Still sorta looks stock. Replaces that empty space below that emergency switch.

I don't think that you would get a very reliable switch action placeing a switch behind another switch.
