07commander,

I know you have your switches already, I put a switch panel in my WH and got the switches from these guys, the switches are marked and I put them in a panel, cut a hole in the dash left side of the steering wheel, wiring was fairly easy.

Centre pole is normally the source that you would bridge (say for positive polarity switching) and because there is a negative for the led light that will need to be done as well, down side to that kind of switch is you can't connect it up to the dimmer control for the rest of the dash.

A cheap label machine works well for your labels and is also a great tool for labeling your wires for later reference.
