hey guys,

well basically I got a nice set of air horns for Christmas and i am currently wiring the switch for them, but as im abit of a pain I like to do things differently, i am wanting an illuminated switch, which will only illuminate when the ignition is switched on.

so im thinking of taking the 12v switched feed from the radio, and scotch locking off of it for the illumination of the switch. Does this sound ok ?

does that look ok?

im not wanting a thread on, "oh how silly you are having air horns" and "you should have brought a bmw / mondeo, they are factory fitted" and please dont take the pee out of my paint handwriting, thank you.

I would just like a little confirmation,

Thank YOU and merry christmas for the last 11minutes :)

This man speaks the truth - having it illuminated all the time would be strange when the rest of the dash is unlit so to speak.

Yeah, this sounds a good idea actually. I can steal a feed from my cigarette lighter illumination.

Shocking paint handwriting, btw. Did you notice the 'text' button? :p

Scotch locks aren't the best, they tend to have a dodgy connection; even when supposedly got working properly they can then lose the connection. I recently rewired my whole alarm system getting rid of the scotch locks - they're convenient, which is why I used them in the first place, but don't last, as I discovered.

What did you use instead then ?
