Installed mine today and found out something very interesting about the stock switch.

It looks like the switches were originally red plastic and then painted the grey to match the interior of the car. I suppose you could just use paint remover on the switch and you'd have your own EDM/JDM hazard switch.

 

Does the switch just pop off?

 

No, there's 2 ways you can get to it.

1 - Remove instrument cluster and reach behind switch and push it out
2 - Remove stereo and reach behind switch and push it out

 

Dude I love that.... That is a must buy for mine...

 

sorry to bring back from the dead.. did a search, and just wanted to see if there are any other ways besides these 2 to install the hazard switch.. other than prying at the stock one and taking a chance at scratching something, are there any other methods to removing it?

 

i heard of another member taking a thin piece ofe metal and bending the tip and shoving it into the sides of the switch and pulling it out, but honestly removing the instrument panel only takes 5 minutes and is super easy. If u need instructions, pm me i'll tell ya how it's soo easy a caveman can do it (no offense to u cavemen).

 

Easy till you lose a clip down the back

 

 

so does the paint remover work?

 

ahahahahahaha

 

paint remover might only eat up the plastic though

 

Acetone eats plastic, and is common in paint remover. What if you just soaked the switch in acetone-free nail polish remover?

Before you guys start busting my balls, I used to build plastic models when I was a kid and my mom told me to use the stuff to touch up paintwork. No, I don't wear nail polish....

 

how would you get the triangle hazard back on there though?

 

I think it's clear to begin with...

 

not on the US fit. its red so how would you get the triangle on there if you took off the "grey paint" or whatever

 

Good point. I'll have to try it and see.

 

i think ill just be a retard and spend the money to get the switch instead of jacking up the other one
