Secondary Light Switch 

The final version of my six-position switch adaptation. This secondary light switch operated was attached to a relay cluster hidden behind the dashboard to achieve the following options with secondary lighting gear. The array is triggered by having the parking lights on, meaning it can operate with or without having the headlights on. It was intended to serve primarily as a winter driving option and a backup in the event of headlight relay failure (which did actually occur a few months after implementation). The green LED indicates fog lights are on; Red, high beams. It is mounted within an old, broken power antenna switch and uses a classy aluminum knob that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Positions:
0: 0ff
1: Fog lights on
2: Fog lights on; High beams on (Aux. or Normal)
3: High beams on (Either Aux. or Normal)
4: Reverse lights on
5: Reverse lights on; Fog lights on (not yet implemented,
ran out of wire...doh)

In the future, I will eventually replace it with an exclusively electrical circuit. The mechanical nature offers satisfactory tactile feedback, but did not fit well with the dashboard.
