I was having a little trouble finding the right combination of toggle switches and boot covers the same as Warchild in various article including Warchild Farkles
Of course, I don't have the nifty **** boxes, but I do want to replace my stock Hella FF50 rocker panel on my D panel with something a little more water and weather resistant.
Off to Home Depot I found the following
The Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) is my choice (Plan to have one position be just plain on for the driving light, middle would be off, and other position would be on when the high beams are on. One could use a different switch, but I found the little covers to be the hardest part of find. They didn't have them on display and I had to look through every box on the upper shelf of the Home Depot to find them.
I just figured this might help the FJR community see the pictures and model numbers available at big box hardware store. Notice the brass screw terminals on the switches instead of spades (won't vibrate off when using ABS to avoid that forest rat in Southern Utah) or the brass insert to the covers. This looks more quality than the stock switch.
SPDT Switch - Gardner Bender - GSW-13 - 032076890131 - $3.98 each
Toggle Cover - Gardner Bender GSW-20 - 032076890209 - $3.79 per pair
.....now if only the **** boxes were at Home Depot.
