Default New Switch Panel

Greetings all,

I think some of you may find this interesting, some may not. A coworker(graphic artist) and myself are designing me a new switch panel for my D2 to replace the clock and locking button. Maybe you guys have some info or input that would be cool to hear as well.
So far I've got:
Disco II switch holder - AWR1159LNF
SWITCH HEATED SEATS PUMA 07+ - YUF500150LNF (because they're much cheaper than D2 switches)
and the designs

Essentially I'm going to place small stickers over each of the depressions to control the following:
Euro Lights
Fog Lights
Rear Work Light
Air Compressor
Front Locker
Rear Locker

And by using the following Genuine Land Rover icons I hope to make it pretty factory looking. (The lockers and air compressor are obviously custom)

Basically this is how it'll look(it'll look better once the texture and colour is properly matched. The one switch is flipped so that it'll light up the front differential.

Very cool... I'd be interested in these if you produce them.

Are there pigtails available to go into the factory land rover switches to simplify wiring them up?

Primus- They will be available as soon as they're done. I'm making them for a LR parts company.

Jafir- There may be, but since each one of my switches is for a different use, I'll just be using small spades.

Would be cool if rather than stickers, they were the actual plastic faces, or empty with a little slot to insert the plastic description.

Very true, but unfortunately I'm a 23 year old photographer, not an engineer with a CNC machine

Zac, why don't you inquire at your local community college's manufacturing department, you might find a whole bunch of machinist students looking for something new to do.
