No, they're not the safety switches with the flip up protective cover, just the regular rocker switches, but I'm the only one driving it, so I'm not that worried about them getting turned on at 70 MPH on the interstate, or anything like that. I did this mod Friday, and wheeled the heck out of it Saturday, never even touched the factory locker switch, just used the new ones. I used the front only a couple times too. It's an awesome mod to do.
I have the A pillar pod also. I wired a 3rd "master" switch into the pod. If the master is not on the locker switches won't come on. Works great and gives a little added protection.

The stock switches are low voltage you'd blow them.

Just did this today. The rear locker works when I throw the switch,stopped or moving but the front seems to only engage once I start moving. Normal?

It all depends on when the dog clutch teeth line up.
