Thanks for all the help and ideas fellas! I actually impressed myself with how well this turned out. I'll post more photos after I wire it up. Couldn't use the housing because of limited space and due to having to space them out to fit the connectors inside, but they snapped into the holes and sort of have their own smaller housing so it still looks clean (even after not cutting my holes perfectly straight)

Nice! Those fit there better than I had thought they would.

Anyone with experience wiring up switches... My rocker switch is illuminated red, when I click it on, it changes to blue and the lights come on, however once I let go of the button after it clicked, the light changes back to red and the spotlights go off. Did I wire something up wrong or is the switch defective? I had mictuning push button switches that I cut off and spliced into. I have black going to the top right of the rocker switch, blue going to the middle left, and white going to the bottom left.

Getting the wires across the headliner to the A pillar with a coat hanger was a nightmare in hell. So glad this project is finally over. Also when I had to take the momentary switches out to put the new correct switches in, the top of the plastic on the overheard console broke where I'd cut out my hole, had to epoxy it back on, but it still turned out pretty good.
