I've been thinking of a few things I could use in the truck. With a small amplifier and sub, I want to be able to cut off the power to it quickly for phone calls, etc. Maybe some green LED glow in the interior, etc.
What I've ended up with is a design for a panel that has a Voltmeter and Thermometer, with a switch to turn those displays off, an amp switch, a switch for LEDs in the foot wells, and an indicator light for the (future) eFan.
However, I'm not quite a rocket surgeon when it comes to electrical wiring. I come to you, the Community, for guidance and assistance...
Here is the hole under the CD player, it measures 174mm wide by 24mm high, but I can remove the bottom plastic to make it a full 30mm high.
I will be using an 8-pin Molex connector to wire it into the truck, keep it clean and easily removable.

8-Pin Male to Female Computer Power Extension Cable-White+Yellow+Black (20cm)
==5 pack rocker switches with green LED:

==Idiot light:

==LEDs, with resistors:

==Digital Voltmeter:

==Digital Thermometer:

My questions are... Does my wiring look correct? I should be able to do a common ground for all this, right? Should I use one of those add-a-fuse things to bring power from the fuse box, or is there a better method? Thanks!
