Sure thing. The Bowmar Brain didn’t come out until the early 70’s!

This is sweet. Hopefully our shop vinyl cutter can get detailed enough for this.
I use my lights so infrequently that I forget which switch does what. This must be why the Tacoma folks run their lights on the street so often.

This was quite the process to dial in but really happy with the results. Don't yet have anything hooked up to AUX1 so leaving it alone for now, but have a "SWY" label for the future as I hope to install OEM disconnect.
First step was to create vinyl labels using a Cricut machine. I went through numerous iterations to get the letters cut well, be legible and not have any floating pieces. I ended up using the top row as they cut clean and mimicked OEM.
I then taped off the switches and used sand paper on a Popsicle stick to sand off the OEM lettering, cleaning with IPA as I went. It was tedious as I needed to sand just for the letters but not outside of the vinyl.
The end result is fully illuminated Aux Switches with custom labeling. I'm pretty dang happy with how it turned out.
*Edit: Attached a zip file of the SVG since a few folks have been asking for it.
came out great, where did you buy the vinyl for that cricut machine.

Hobby Lobby, didn't use the cricut brand as it was very gloss black but the other brand they had was less so and mixed in better.
