Default Toggle Switch Ideas

Hello guys, I was looking around my truck and realized I accidentally installed an extra toggle switch. I was wondering if you guys have any ideas on what to wire up to it. I already have one for my Hellas, RI, LEDs, and inside LEDs. Thanks!

I forgot that I wired all my interior lights to one switch. At first I was planning on doing separate switches for the LEDs.

Leave it there for a spare...you'll find a use for it eventually.

1: HAHAHAHA

2: One can never have enough light out the back.... pick up some eBay 18w LED aux lights and mount 'em below your bumper. Use that spare switch.

I was going to suggest what Fx4wannabe01 said. Never have too many lights.

Or maybe some roof lights

Flamethrower?
Oil Slick?
Machine Guns?

There's ALWAYS something cool you can use that switch for.

I was actually thinking about hooking a paintball gun up and when someone cuts me off, boom no more back window.
