I am looking at my D1 switches and I want to pull the covers off but I can't figure it out. I know how to open them up to clean the contacts but I have not been successful at pulling the covers off. The reason I want to do this is to see if I can figure a way to custom label a switch and retain the indicator lamp feature. has anyone seen or made a modified switch cover to display locking diffs or otherwise differentiate between real cruise and cruise switch powering an accessory, for example?
Also, I have two rear fog switches but neither latch like like the front fog or cruise. Why are they momentary? I haven't gotten my rear fogs working yet, and its probably a module which might explain it and also means when the car starts again the fogs will have to be switched back on if you want them on. I believe that means the stock latching switches for accessories would be rear wipers, cruise, and front fogs. Also, can't any switch can be made into a latcher? If so, the rear defrost and rear fog can work for accessories and have the indicator bulbs. Can these momentary switches be modified to latch without sacrificing another latching switch, essentially swapping the cap? I don't know if latchers are easier to get than the ebay availability and price is why I ask. So there's four latching switch covers available what are the ways they can be modified to differentiate their functions? Also, can someone tell me if mounting a compressor and locker on the stock DI lower dash button location is a bad idea since I think they are easier to switch than the ARB ones. I know I can mount my arb switches there too but the stock is appealing and I already have everything to do it. Right now they are under my window controls but I would like to try them up front since I think I look down to see them when I'm switching. I figure since they both have to be depressed there's a slim chance that would happen accidentally but maybe someone can tell me otherwise.
