Bearmach switches wont fit dash
Keen to keep as OEM look as possible in my 2010 Puma and wanting to fill the boring blanks on the dash, I purchased a few Bearmach switches for my newly added spot lights and soon to be added rook rack LED bar and rear LED lights.

Trouble is the I find the dashboard holes are "coded" with slots which wont allow the switches to fit through anything but the existing fog light switch aperture.

Has anyone else found this problem and worked out a solution? Or do I have to buy more specific switches and wait another month for them to arrive by carrier pigeon?

Very Happy Shocked

They're designed that way so that they all get assembled in the correct way at the factory. Just file the plastic 'keys' off the switches. Darren

Slice off the key part on the switch body. Quite why Bearmach bothered copying the key over onto their pattern switch Rolling Eyes  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Done!
Well that was pretty simple (stupid me!) thanks for the tips.

Now for the wiring bit... Rolling Eyes
