@hummerz I like the discrete look of that push button. I realized that I forgot to add a shot of the final output from my cigarette lighter switch mod. Got a little scratched up around the edges but overall, I don't mind having the switch here. Unfortunately I haven't been able to really use it that much because I don't know why the relay under the hood is buzzing so loudly when it's in the ON position. Probably need to do more research but not sure if it's bad crimping, a bad relay, or what. Seems to work fine but just emits a really loud buzz. Tried wiggling some of the wires and moving the relay around but nothing really helped with the noise.

Yes, matches panel and sits in nice. Yours looks good, except you lose an auxiliary outlet. I use the front auxiliary outlets for usb and voltmeter, and the cargo outlet for an inverter. Yet, with only 1 front aux port, you can get usb/voltmeter in 1.

Two great options above. I really like Hummerz' push button option.

Here's a photo of the switch I
found on Amazon found on Amazon
. It fits in the existing hole without any modifications, but not as nice as the other two options and doesn't include the LED light to show when the circuit is active. I could not find it with a black rocker, but at two for $5.99 I'll put up with the red.

Nice fit + you mounted the I/O switch correct. Yes, the red button is an eyesore, yet more obvious,than black, to see position driving in daylight.

Well done... That is a difficult location to install a switch successfully.

Very nice! Looks like a clean install.

Thanks on the lower grill and located them off eBay... On a side note, your chrome front guard, was this already on your H3 or did you afterwards? I've located an original OEM front guard off a H3 with under 40K miles. I know there hard to find and the owners wanting $300. I really like the look and stance on yours.. Thanks RT

The 19132765 is a rare part selling cheaper than MSRP:$280.00 since leds are mostly used now. The grille is available without lights:>> 19159112
