Correct, these are on switch 2 for me at the moment. I trimmed quite a bit of wiring off once I decided what path it was going to take under the hood/cowl and tossed the rest in my spare parts bin.

Over the River & Thru the woods... (Rocker Covers)
As my sPod switch panel has been filling up, I've actually started to get confused about which switch does what. Yeah, I know there are only 6 switches... how hard can it be?!? Maybe I'm getting senile already? Let's hope not! I picked up a set of 6 assorted rocker covers from OTRATTW to replace the standard blue ones that came with my sPod. Before you ask, no I don't have roof lights nor am I sure I want roof light bar, but I needed a 6th switch to fill the blank spot so 'roof lights' it is.
Popping off the covers is fairly simple, just gently (but firmly) pull the switch cover out. I found that process to be quite unnerving honestly and figured out that it takes a little finesse. I didn't want to break any plastic from the existing rocker covers b/c that would have turned into hours of removing the sPod and the rocker just to fish out a small piece from the inside of one of the rocker or perhaps have to replace one.
The new covers just click into the existing openings (much less eerie!). The finished product looks quite nice if I do say so myself and it serves the functional purpose of preventing any confusion as to which switch does what.

You could have gone with passenger eject :crazyeyes:

That would have been great... until I needed to eject a passenger and flipped the switch with a menacing grin. The awkward silence of nothing happening and the passenger staring at me that followed is just not worth it.

We could install one.......all we need is a jack in the box and a switch. Use the parts from that under the seat and the switch as a trigger to be activated by the button.

Im in the exact same boat as you. I also have no need for one yet either :doh:

I had the same issue, and just made myself order it lol. Ive had rocklights waiting for a while however and wanted to add some more lights so this was just the easiest for me. If only 11+ interriors had better spots for switches...well for the guys who have manuals at least.

Just heard back from the guys at RockHard4x4 (Super nice guys by the way). It turns out that my brackets aren't defective, this is the way they were designed to sit on the body. Since that's the case, I'm putting them back in a box and swapping out for a set from Poison Spyder. I don't know about you, but I like my lights nice and level.

I only get one Jeep at a time, so I gotta build it just so. Besides, I keep telling you I have CDO!

Yeah well I'm actually getting lights here and there for good deals so I'm about at that point where It'd be a hell of a lot easier to just drop $455.06 or so (through River City Offroad) for the sPOD and save myself the time/hassle of wiring 4-6 switches to my Daystar lower dash panel (which sucks by the way Hinrich, you wouldn't want it anyway).
Yeah I'm seriously close to just saying F*CK IT! And clicking "Order" then hiding from my bank account :ahhhhh: Lmao
And like i mentioned above, the Daystar lower dash panels suck ass...they don't line up right so one side doesn't sit flush. I can't wait to get the sPOD and put my stock lower panel in there.
