I recently bought a 69 Chevelle malibu, but the dash is missing the light switch and wiper switch. Is it possible to install a custom switch like one of these: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=374&zenid=ef3ca5016c8f65a63fe8652585840061

without too much trouble? Any Help very much appreciated>:confused:

You're going to need a switch for parking lamps, a switch for headlamps, a switch for the dome lamp and a switch with a variable resistor for the dash lights.
You may be able to get a 3 position toggle switch to do it :confused: but not with what you have pictured
Way too much trouble and way too messy, buy the original switch, same goes for wipers :D

If you use that kind of switch uou will need a relay because the switch contacts wont take the current draw from the headlights. It's a lot of work. I'd replace the stock switch.

Yeah that sound like too much....Ill just buy the original!!
I though it would have looked cool if it had worked though...Maybe ill use the carbon fiber Military switch for something else....:D

Thanks for all the suggestions though.....Very much appreciated!
