Ok so ive got a vtr mk1,
wondering how hard it would be to move the electric window switches from that annoying place by the handbreak :homme: to up by the hazard switch in the center console in the empty switch plates?

Anyone done this at all? would it be very hard do you recon??

just put 2 switches on the dash and take the wires from the back of the window swiches and re route them up to the dash, dunt think much of the idea like mate, me sel i would leave them where they are

yeah.only thing is theres no way im gonna fit them in so they can be rocker switches like the current ones going up and down, but there is 4 blank plates there, so ive figured one for up, one for down, on each side if u get me.... hmm.... some serious thought will go into this me thinks... anyone done anything like this?

I need to figure out how to change 2 of the saxo switches to work as ON / OFF switches.

I plan to use a switch for my side lights and one for my standard beam. I think this is going to be a challenge.

Can you get customized switches which fit the saxo switches as a direct replacement?

hmmm perhaps a trip to the scrap yard for 4 hazard light switches off saxos, and then some how remove the hazard sticker and replace with arrows...hmm....

should be able to use a fine sandpaper to remove the hazard bit or maybe a bit of alcohol solution and a rough cloth.
