Ideas to cover holes in console?
So the po of my jeep put in these switches for fog lights and bypass on the stereo.... Which I don't have either of them anymore And neither one of the switches worked in tbe first place.
I can't find new switches that match these... Which leaves me with the ugly holes. Any ideas to cover em up? Or any links to a set of switches that would look/fit good and get rid of these holes?

almost any switch will fit in there. they're pretty much all the same size to fit universal switch plates.
why not wire up some lights and use those spots for the switches?
either that or just get a new console from the junk yard.

1) Make a cover plate out of metal or thin plexi, paint and glue down....
2) Put duct tape underneath. Fill holes with epoxy, wait for it to dry and scratch some texture to try to blend into rest of console then paint console a flat color.
Those are the only 2 ideas I have...

Looks like a good place to mount a window punch/seatbelt cutter, always good to have one close by.
