Jeep Driver Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 I need 4 switches that fit the MJ dash bezel, as in stock size. What aftermarket switches are you guys using? Prices? From whom? If lighted (blue), have you found ones that are not annoyingly bright? Thank you.
Jeep Driver Posted April 26, 2018 Author Posted April 26, 2018 OK, I'm guessing there is nothing that fits our dash panels like the stock switches do?

Looks to me like these are supposed to fit the 84-96 XJ/MJ: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/gctent?section=84-96+Switch+Panels&s=0
MeanLemons Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 No I’m just saying that he made panels to use Toyota switches, TJ switches etc. however with using our oem panels, I have no idea. Sorry I’m not much help with that
ParadiseMJ Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I bought this on ebay a while ago...a long while. It's not stock, but it's inconspicuous. It wasn't expensive, it fits in the "coin holder" just behind the shifter, right of the t-case shifter. It comes all wired up and ready. I put a 30amp circuit breaker to the power line through a 30 amp relay. Then to the lights I'm using...or not. The only thing besides supplying power and ground is cutting out the "coin holder" (required). It comes out very clean. The LED's are not too bright. If I hold my hand over it the "beams" of LED light shine straight up so They're bright but definitely not obnoxious at all P.S. the switches, bezel and wiring inside the panel are included. I like torx heads. LOL
HOrnbrod Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Crappy pic, but a while back this Ebay seller, uaintl-2008 , had a crap load of these switches. I grabbed about six of them @ ~$20/ea as I recall. They fit the standard XJ/MJ single pole ON/OFF connectors, snapped in the bezel as they should, have the indicator LED, and work fine. They were 20A switches in a Mopar box. Don't know if he has any more, but would be worth checking with the seller...
Swampy Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 idk about what size would fit the stock piece but I do know that they make a panel where the clock would go for 4 rocker/carling switches Jeep-Cherokee-Xj-Mj-84-96-Switch-Panel-Clock-Panel-Replacement-4x-Carling

DirtyComanche Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 These fit the stock holes. With the flash from the camera you can see where I blacked out the wiper logo. They're complete generic, tons of them on Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/Amarine-made-Waterproof-Marine-Rocker-Switch/dp/B0727X2CHK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1524719936&sr=8-4&keywords=rocker+switch&dpID=41HeDfNIx8L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch Finding ones with the lettering you want can be a challenge though.

That looks good man. I may do the same once I figure out what switches I'm going to get
coolwind57 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I'm wiring in my fog lights soon and I couldn't resist ordering this one:

Dirty, Please tell me where/how you got the gauge into the clock panel? I would like to mount an EGT gauge in that location. Thanks,

Dzimm Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Just a curious question here, if those oversized switches (switch with sasquatch above) are sold for both the 96- and 97+ XJs, would that mean that the 97+ style rocker switch would potentially fit the 96- bezel? Maybe just not look quite as finished around the edges?
fiatslug87 Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 This place makes custom laser etched switches. http://www.ch4x4.com/product/ch4x4-custom-laser-etched-rocker-switches/

Jeep Driver Posted April 28, 2018 Author Posted April 28, 2018 Actually, NAPA will give you 10% just for asking. And, if you know the counter guy well enough, he'll place your order under a 'garage' account which will give you a jobber price. That said, they ain't gonna come down enough in price for me to ask.
Jeep Driver Posted April 28, 2018 Author Posted April 28, 2018 I just called, NAPA, NLA. I probably will go through NAPA though, they have a lot to choose from.
