Teaser: New Overhead Console: What will I use this switch for?

[DJones]

Upgrading my overhead console has been on my mind for a very long time. After much searching, I picked one up on eBay for $40 shipped. This particular one came from an '06 Ascender 5-passenger. The swap will be extensive as I will make it look factory and there are other problems as far as installation is concerned. I will try to make a how-to when finished. The problem with the new one is that it has a sunroof switch when I don't have a sunroof. I have big plans for it. Does anyone want to take a guess?

Flux capacitor? Dixie horn? NAWWWWWWS?

I vote "Flux capacitor"

Dixie Horn all the way!!

The flux capacitor is imaginary and this switch will serve a real purpose. There will be actual electrical conducting capacitors in this project.

Dixie Horn all the way!!

I had to google that one. Cool concept, but no.

I have three buttons for that.

I assure you, the flux capacitor is very real.... Here's a pic of the damn thing for proof:

This is the early model there is an update coming just like the new IPAD.

[Uncle Blazer]

you are going to use it to dim the clock light for the flux capacitor

When I seen this I thought of Quagmires RV from Family Guy.

I have more too, but not pictured.

And I will get:

complete digital PWM dimming control over all of the BLUE LED items I am putting inside. I am known for my love of lights and LEDs, just not on this forum though.

 

[Blckshdw]

Looking forward to seeing how that looks when you get it all done.

Then I'll have to upgrade the dome LEDs too. According to my calculations, the are only putting out less than two lumens each, while my cargo area is 155 lumens.
