hey i installed some windshield nozzle lights and am planning to add maybe fog lights and some other lights to dress up my interior, but i dont know where to put all those switches. I was thinking about making a bracket of some sort in the sunglasses? compartment above the ashtray and putting a couple toggle switched in there. please let me know what you guys think or if u have any better ideas.

right in front of yout consloe there are 3 coin holders, makes a great spot for toggles. i would highly recomend getting factory foglights instead of aftermarket. if you go with aftermarket you should get a factory headlight switch with the foglight option on it. that way you can add the foglight relay to your fuse box and tap in to your factory wires for the foglights and not have to worry about running the extra toggle. most, if not all, A32's have the foglight wiring from the factory, of course not all came with fogs. just my $.02

i agree w/jeremiah! i had aftermarket fogs on my '96, and then when i got my '99 i went w/a factory setup instead. the factory fogs are much better IMO! anyways, for your toggles...try this (http://www.ignitedperformance.com/index2.html) they have some nice switches and used to carry a blank DIN compartment for us as well. something to check into!! hope this helps!!

I'm almost done with the switches. I'm just waiting for a shipment of blue LED's, then I will install them and post pictures. This idea was a LOT of work for me and the next time around i would look for a better spot to mount switches:slap .
