I see a lot of switches in cars, just wondering what you have them wired to?

Vac has been disconnected because I now use a belt driven vacuum pump.

That's a nice looking setup. But the wires are coming out of the wrong side lol.

It's custom made. Wires are coming out on the front side so that they can go along the halo bar of the roll cage.

Re: soooo, what do your switches do?

Radiator fan manual override, lights mounted under the wiper cowl, subwoofer amp disable (for when the kids are in the back), horn switch(toggles between OEM horn/dukes of hazard horn) all mounted in the ashtray along with a pair of USB charging ports. Pushbutton start mounted where the cigarette lighter was. Rewired the cruise on/off switch to enable/disable the low beams in the inner pair of headlight bulbs. Gives me twice the light output on low beam, and I never liked cruise control.
