Adhesive light switch?
Not looking to blow 25 bucks on a simple switch,
I am looking for a switch for the LEDs I'm going to install inside my car.

I do not like drilling into my interior so I am looking for something similar to this:
Amazon.com: Piaa Corporation Usa 30034 Illuminated Switch: Automotive

Thanks guys!

I put a push switch under/behind driver side dash using 3m mounting tape. It's lasted over a year so far.

I tapped into the interior illumination circuit, so mine automatically come on when it gets dark.

bought my leds for $2.00 off ebay. I tapped into the power window fuse. So the leds turn off when the car does. I also have my radar detector hooked to the same fuse. you're gonna love it at night!
