    Mate they are NOT the same switches as what ARB provided me when they wired in my lockers, lights, fog lights etc... I've bought switches from that bloke on the bay that jackwalks mentioned, and they are junk compared to what ARB actually fitted for me. Different feel of the plastic, and the lights on the eBay ones are not as bright, terminals also look cheeply implemented in it.
    Not saying the ARB provided ones are good, just saying they are different. I've been down this road with my Navara last year. I actually took it in to show Simon and he reckons they are may be a knock off.

    Yep, same as the one I used to sell for KW. stuffed with the green goodies...
    Edit I checked out the Narva switches. Much better feel that what I have. Only issue was they didn't have the ones I wanted. I am thinking of wiring in my winch as well now up to the dash. So that's another two I need isn't it? One to turn the winch power on and one to operate the winch?

    All LED's produce heat, check the cooling fins on light bars, down lights etc.

    Even though the switch will have a low wattage lamp some heat is generated.

    I have used metal toggle switch's with LED's for 5 years now having no problems.

    I can feel the heat after they have been on for a while.

    Yeah I thought about what I type after I posted and thought, you dickhead, they get hot too... Lol
    But anyhow, I will have a look at what is on offer and decide. I got a little time to do it...

    These are the type I have been using, cheap and do the job but can be a bit bright.
