I think I found the perfect switch for my electric fan cut off and any other miscellaneous items I install. What do y'all think? I think they would definately look cool on the dash!
Thinking about installing some of these......

Not that big a fan... they look fancy, i guess, but..
I'm a much bigger fan of sealed rocker switches like contura rockers...

Yes, they look cool but not very practical for something you may use regularly. It's a great idea for a master winch control on/off switch. That's something you don't want to inadvertently hit on and run your winch cable out as you're driving down the highway.
I'm kind of on the fence. Working in aviation I see lots of HD paddle switches, which can look clean/nice in a Cruiser. On the other hand the switches CruisinGA mentioned are also clean and they blend well into the existing dash of nearly all Cruisers.

They look cool and are good for switches you don't want accidentally activated, otherwise I would stick with the waytek style rocker switches, personally.
Note- you can get these rockers anywhere, not just waytek, you may find better prices elsewhere.
They are the Contura rocker made by carlingswitch, the exact same switch as the switches ARB uses.

Watch out what type of toggle and cover you get though. There are different styles that do different things (i.e. some have a spring loaded cover that turns the switch off when you release the cover, some have a detent that holds the cover open, some are spring loaded but just cover the switch).
Another kind that are cool are the ones that you have to pull out to move. They look like a regular toggle but with a knob and the end. They also come in different flavor (locks on, locks off, locks on and off, 3 pos, etc...).
