I think the switch he is referring to is a light that turns on when the spoiler is up. I've seen those on eBay and they seem fairly useless, but look nice and get ride of empty switch plug. I don't have an experience with them, but the seller has been nice when I contacted him about those switches. It also wouldn't be to hard to diy.

It is that mostly useless light that fills up the space. I like to tinker with the car and thought it would be fun to put one in. My other thought and probably a more useful modification would be to put in a short shifter. What do you know about those.

I put one in to fill space. Easy and , as someone who has not grown up yet, it is fun. It also allows you to put up the spoiler without reaching underneath. Going 75 is another way of doing it without reaching. Ed

The one on ebay is only a light that flashes when the spoiler is going up and stays lit when it is up. You have one that allows you to move the spoiler? Where did you get that one?

There's a spoiler switch in the footwell, what you can also do is add a dash mounted switch. It is very simple to make, I have some instructions on my website, if you want to take a look. You could also wire the spoiler indicator light to the spoiler switch.
