Do you guys know of a DIY kit to change the cluster of wires to individual switches, or know some who does it for a reasonable price?

I would like my accessories wired to a panel like this. I was wondering if there was a kit.

No real "kit" available. You just have to pay a wiring guy to do it, or buy the switches and breakers or fuses, etc. and make it. What I have that you PMed me about is somewhat similar though & may work. I'll try & get pics as soon as I can get back to the shop.

What type of connectors? Weather pack, molex, Honda, amphenol? Check digikey for some and pei genesis for amphenol.

I know a couple guys who do it professionally on the side. They're priced fair for the work they do. Not cheap but fair. I can put you in touch with them if youd like.

Wiring is something you should not skimp on as it can ruin your day.... Yet most people skimp and cut corners.

Wiring guys are normally cheaper than regular mechanics but its a very time and resource intensive job to get done. Hence why everyone seems to hate wiring.

Melted wires = wrong size or no breakers/fuses.

and melted wires can turn into a burn down quickly!

Good idea to get on it quickly & get it sorted.

Wiring for me is a good de stressor. One thing I like is when you have a problem you know exactly ware too start diagnosing the problem.
Do it your self and you will get it down quick. I get supply's from radio shack they have a good selection of stuff and it local.
