Surface mount switches?

I've got some decent halogen mounts that screw into the short wooden batons under the headlining (presumably holdsworth original) above the side windows. They look & work great.

My challenge now is switchgear.

I could use inline switches, e.g. those for table lamps, but I'd like something smarter. Metal ideally.

I'm drawing a blank at the moment. Nothing I can find at Maplin or Mr Resistor.

Any suggestions?

Couldn't see any surface mount switches there either.

Personally I'd move away from Halogen lighting. Very power hungry and far too hot for a small vehicle imho.

Can't help with the switches either - sorry.

Yep. More precisely, this is what I've done:

GU5.3 Mounts
5W LED Warm White Bulbs

That's looking good. I'll give them a call, work out how it surface mounts. Cheers dan.
