I don't know why this isn't done at the factory. At least now I can see the switches at night.
Did you get pictures of behind panel for placement of LEDs. Good Idea. Thank youOf course all of these mods were not made in one day, but I finally was able to take photos of them and post them here.
Nice ideas. What are the dimensions of the tool box? Thank you.
I did not get a picture behind the panel yet. I can get one but I need to work up the lights a little bit as there are a******load of wires back there that cast shadows on the panel. BTW, I used the led strips from auto zone that people put on their cars. They were easily wired to the same location as the continuously lit Voltage portion. I literally undid the wire nuts and put the led wires in with the others. Piece of cake.
I believe the tool box is 33" x 18". It fits perfectly in that spot. Not only does it provide tool storage but the lower drawers are deep enough to store other items as well.
