Rocker Switch

Today I finally finished up my Tsunami-Rig, for right now anyways. I hated having the switch for my UV lights in the back. For that reason, I hardly ever turned them on. So, I bought a blue LED Rocker Switch when I ordered the parts for Chase’s computer. I want to make my 2nd 3.5″ bay a custom light control panel. So, the first step was to add the rocker switch. I got the plastic bay cover and taped it off and drilled the hole. Then sanded it down a little and got the switch put in. It was a perfect fit and looks nice. Then came the wiring. This was a little bit of trouble as I had a few things wrong, mainly the ground. Anyways, after awhile I got it working and it fits my case perfect. Makes turning the UV lights on much easier, plus adds another blue LED to the front. I plan on buying 2 more UV lights to put inside, 4″ bars instead of the 12″ I have now. When I do this I will buy the red LED rocker switch to install next to the blue one to control them. Overall I loved the way it turned out. Here is the final picture with the switch on, view picture.

Here are several pictures that I took along the way; Drive Bay Cover [before], Preparing to drill, Drilling done, switch put in, Switch just put in, Empty 3.5″ drive bay, Switch installed, Preparing to wire, Wire setup v1, Final Picture [switch installed and working].
