Default D2 FL MOD: Pre-FL switches fit perfectly in the dashboard blank

Discovered great stuff today: Pre-FL switches fit perfectly in the dashboard blank provided.

This opens for me whole new scope I can have a switch to blink fog lights independently of headlights or parking lights....



No... better idea! When I finish installation of my Hormann garage doors I can put there a blinds switch and open garage doors: http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/garagedrinstall.html

Blinds switch pictogram actually looks like a garage door

Wish I had a garage door, I'd do that for sure.

Garage open/close door button installed in dash.



No automated garage doors yet though... But we'll get there.

Great job and brilliant idea!

Is this where the headlight adjustment would have been?

Yep. Any Pre-FL button can be installed there.

Those pre-FL buttons are great -- better to touch than FL ones.
