The switches we use are from Bocatech. As a dealer, I default to using them because of the ease of use. A majority of the cheaper ones that can be bought online are limited to a 5A current load and will require relays in order to run any load drawing more than that. The newer technology in the resettable Bocatech switches has made the system much more user friendly from an install perspective in eliminating the need for redundant fuses, breakers, and relays that fail (IMO.)

Totally agree with you...those are very very nice switches...I just couldn't justify the money but now looking back I probably should have just bit the bullet and got them...oh well...the cheapies I have work for now and are the same size as bocas so as they fail I'll replace them with good ones hahaha

Again very nice looking dash!!!
