accessory switch

Hey I am wondering if you can buy switch for accessories that goes on the driver's left (right where the gauge dimmer is)

I have seen people with them, but I am not sure if they made them or bought them.

Here is one I have seen and REALLY like:

that's where I have my boost control for my amp...just buy a switch you like and install it...very simple just pop the insert out drill/cut a hole for the switch and wire it up....

TIP.....put wires through the hole drilled and wire switch then snap/install switch into hole....

I like the LED light. You know how he did that? or did he just wire the outgoing switch wire to that too?

hahaha something tells me you messed that one up...

and finally.... in the case that I do get a switch, and screw up drilling it royally or anything, where can I get a replacement little blank slot like is in there right now?

yes I mess it up got the switch in and snapped everthing back in place then tried to wire it(idk y i should have known i couldn't wire it in that tight of space haha)

For the LED I couldnt say exactly how he would have done it however I would have just put it in the same circuit as the switch and taken a power to it and then just ran a seperate ground to the "frame" somewhere.

As for a new replacement you could search on ebay or something but Mazda prob would b the best place but I have no idea of how much it would cost!
