where did you buy this ?.
I have some home made but just wanted to see if your are better than mine

I used but connectors, and made some. I was going to solder them if needed later - we will see.

does anyone have a layout like the one on the previous page for a large white base? i tried following one of the ones in a post a few pages back but the actual switch wouldnt work and the switch on the front center console was working but when i pushed up the window would go down. i dont know what to do.
