P1000 high beam switch - near or on steering wheel?

[ch33br0h]

Greetings,

I'm in a area where my rig is street legal and also very rural with no street lights.
Flipping from low to high beams is constant at night.
Curios to see if anyone has done any mods to bring the switch closer to the steering wheel.

Haven't done any mods there but I always thought it would be cool to add the the foot button like the old vehicles

That is still the best spot for a high beam switch imo

I vaguely remember reading/hearing a rumor awhile back from my neighbors cousins dentists taxidermists maids dog walker that they were moving back to the floor to free up space on the stalks for other functions.

I think the hardest part would be the mount. I'd prefer it to be sitting at an angle like the pic. Not familiar with the P1k floor but if it's flat you could fab up an angled box to mount it in.

with a foot switch on a SXS, I would be more worried about mud and water.

All it would take was one "oops" and you have a electrical switch full of mud and water.

I think the max fording depth is below the floorboards on the P1k so it should be alright, don’t you think?

Off course never more than 9" of water, I always carry a ruler, but like I said, "OS" , it happens to everyone at some point.

Muddy boots from hunting or mud from a pig pen would be nasty cleaning out of that switch.

ahh, dang.. solid point!
my floors are routinely wet and muddy...
Still there must a more elegant solution, cause reaching out to that switch is not very enjoyable.

I think the steering shaft is a standard Honda automotive spline @CumminsPusher knows.

With an adapter and a steering wheel you could always make the “horn button“ on an aftermarket wheel, toggle a relay that would toggle high beams.

Too much effort for what little I use the switch. Mines only ever on low and I use the light bar.

Early 90’s Accord and Integra will work. We did get horn button going but it was complicated. I did look into doing the high beam/turn sig stem from same car but it needs more room. I think maybe aftermarket stem or possibly one that mounts to column but you’d lose the cancel feature

You make a good point about deep water but I've seen some pretty nasty floorboards in some old farm trucks that have been violated by muck boots. LOL! Wait.... those trucks might not have had working headlights anymore. Oh well!
