Default Window Lock Mods

So I personally do not care at all to have a passenger window lock, and was wondering if anyone has done anything interesting with one. I recently read about someone who claimed they would be moving their hazard button over to the window lock switch to use the hazard button for nitrous. I personally would not do this (I don't trust the people I drive!), but it got me wondering if any other cool tricks have been done utilizing this switch. I want to do something to mine but I'm not sure what!

Or, simply what you would like to do! Interesting ideas are welcome here as well. I read another about how someone used this for tripping their brake sensor after cutting the speed sensor so they could raise and lower their roof while moving without doing the one click trick and without having the constant BRAKE light lit on the dash.

All S2000's have a window lock switch. I have mine turn on and off interior door handle led's. Make it easy for passengers to see door handle at night without clawing the entire door panel lol.

Ha! That's a good idea. I forgot about all the possible lighting setups you could do.

Slick idea. I've never even thought about the possibility of that switch doing something else. Early AP1's have a blank-out panel where the defroster button is on the later AP1's (where the VSA OFF button is on later AP2's). I've always thought about putting a defroster button there and wiring it up to do something different... like turn on fog lights (if I had them) or maybe a cooling fan override switch to make my cooling fans turn on.

Yeah, I was thinking for more performance oriented applications; the cooling fan idea is pretty solid. Is it possible to flip the switch and get different boost levels out of a turbo? Knowing me, without that ease, I would boost way too high for way to often and blow up within the hour

For those of us without butt sensors: Passenger airbag switch.

Oooh the window lock switch. I thought you meant a switch to lock the doors for some reason. Anyways, what about like a stealth antitheft switch; you know, the hidden switch that some people install on the car so others can't turn it on. I bet no one would think to switch the window lock. I don't know much about performance applications, but if you install fog lights that could be a location to turn them on. Anything to do with lighting would make sense.
