Where is a good place to by rocker/toggle switches
I am doing a project where I need some switches. I have looked at Radio Shack and Fry's but all the switches are really ugly and look old school.
I have found some switches that I like on Limousine consoles but I haven't worked out where to buy them directly.
The nicest ones I have found where on ebay and it took a lot of searching.

They will work for the job but I am looking for place that offers more selection. Any idea's? |

Well, I found some really nice and small switch from Pepboys and autozone. They are lighted and kinda ricey. Another place is local electronic store and none lighted. There are 2 place I known of in OC. Savon electronic on Harbor Blvd just North of 22Fwy. The other one is JK electronic on Westminster Blvd just East of 405Fwy (Next to Big Lot).
Last but not least Super Autobac autopart/store on Beach Blvd north of 22Fwy. There are TONS of switches that you can't find any where (locally).

Anybody have a line on where I could get similarly styled 3-way (on-off-on) rocker switches? I want it to implement three modes of operation as discussed here. The only ones I could find are like this:  and these are much less subtle than the rocker type switches.

Actually, I HAVE seen some nice ones at RadioShack. Used two of these for my install... agree that most others look ugly though... these look very nice.
Search for #275-648 and #275-693

I know you are not going to believe this but some of the best switches I have found lately have been at Pep-boys. Since all the DIY tuner projects can have switches now they have some really cool ones. My favorite are the ones that have the cover over them to prevent hitting hit by accident.

Getting 48 toggle switchs for the limo is a pain. And having them not be ****y, another task. Price also comes into play. check out 12voltguy.com. He does all custom 4x4 switchs and panels. He also has some, if not the, best prices on tons of switchs. His customer service and detication the the 4x4 world is 100% top notch. just my .2
