I think I'll go with a toggle switch instead of the pressure switch...seems easier for us novices!
Thanks again!

Thanks! I actually didn't tap any fuses, but I need to do that. I ran the thing right off the battery. My plan is to just put a little in-line fuse in there somewhere...just haven't done it yet. They have not come unstuck yet, but I figure they will at some point, but it is just not that hard to reaffix them, so I am not worried. They were originally stuck onto the painted metal finish, so it was a solid place to stick them (versus on textured plastic, or fabric).
The mod is really nice to have at night. The light that is emitted is far superior to a single bulb like most vehicles have. People who have seen it in person are usually awe struck (like they have never seen an engine compartment light before???).
Regarding the switch, I never did replace my toggle switch with a better pressure switch mainly because I have been unable to find a good one. Now that I have had the regular toggle switch, I really don't want a pressure switch any more, because rarely do you need to use these lights anyways. The location of my button is perfect and it is a snap to turn it on. Unfortunately I cannot tell you the model or type of toggle switch I used because I found it in an old parts box from decades ago.
