Default Replacing SPOD Rockers with OTRATTW

I am looking to replace some SPOD switch rockers with the OTRATTW rockers. Should I replace the entire switch with their rocker or just the rocker itself? I would prefer to just replace the rocker if it's okay to do that.

you can do either. Rocker just clips into the switch. If you wanted the double lighted switches you could replace the whole thing if not just the rocker will do.

Some sPODs come with dual-lit switches (it is optional).

My SPOD has the dual lit switches and swapped to OTRATTW rockers and looks great.

If I'm not ready to replace all of the switch rockers yet, which rocker looks the closest to the stock sPOD rockers?

Mine came with Contura II's. But they could easily change that. Look at the images at OTRATTW.com and you can figure it out. The Contura II's, BTW, are a better fit for the original JK interior, but do have some disadvantages. Because they are silk-screened instead of laser etched, the lettering isn't really backlit. That is, it isn't readable when lit at night. Also, OTRATTW doesn't make those toggles themselves on site. They order them and have to order at least 500. So, there isn't as much flexibility in what the lettering says, and they often wait a while for certain words/colors do to low demand. The Contura V's are laser-etched on site. They are backlit with the dual-lit sPOD option lighting half the switch when activated. They can custom make based on art you submit to them. But, they look a bit out of place in the old interior.

For those looking for something similar to the Contura II design but laser etched we have the Contura XIV coming in January.
