Been slowly wrapping up my Laser Interceptor install. I was getting sick of my temporary ghetto rig so I've started to tidy things up. Heres a couple teaser pics of the kill switch I've rigged up.
Started out with a used ASR switch.
Unfortunately the internal switches would not work for me. So I bought one of these
That I hacked on and got to fit inside the ASR switch.. after hacking on that too.
I now had a working switch but since I wanted it to match the OEM switches and be backlit at night it was going to take some cosmetic work.... I sanded off the ASR logo and then masked off the international laser warning symbol.
I painted it with Krylon Fusion for plastic in satin black which is almost a perfect match to the original MB finish. After peeling off the masking I was left with a factory looking switch.... After some searching I also located the 4 hole wood trim I needed to add this extra switch.
Installed pics (and nighttime lighted up pics) coming soon.
BTW here is that temporary ghetto rig I was talking about

Thanks!!! Although I must admit I'm not 100% happy with it... Probably around 98.5%
The lines are a bit thicker then I would have liked. I have a few extra switches laying around so I might try a few more.

Necessity is a great mother of invention. Nice looking job and who's to know the difference.

Hi everybody,
I'm new to the forum and I'm not 100% sure this is the right place I should post this but any way I'll give it a try. I own a 2003 CLK240 and I would like to fit a hidden kill switch since car theft is a slight issue where I live. Anyway, I was thinking that I would check out which fuse goes to the ignition barrel and I would put a switch on the circuit since I know if I disconnect the battery then the car will lose it's memory, this is why I was thinking about the ignition circuit. If anybody has a better idea or any advise I'm always open for more experienced peoples opinion.
Best regards,
Geza
