Spare switch - What to use it for?

Hi,
I have a spare switch on my centre console that used to switch two bright rear foglights on (put on by the last guy that had the car I suppose, but they ended up breaking from too much water getting in). Great for blinding tailgaters thats for sure!
Anyway, since I no longer have them hooked up, I have this one switch sitting in my centre console with no use what-so-ever! I am after some clever yet practical ideas on what to use it for... only because i've lost my creativity in the great creative wars of yesteryear
Don't say fog lights, I have those already.
This is for my Celica XX.

*use it to switch on a light in you engine bay so when your car breaks down at night you can see what you are doing

I have this because my car is cool
The fish oil idea, although great, could backfire very very easily.
Neons are ghey!
NAWZZZZZ is ghey too
Burnouts just don't do it for me...
Killswitch might be handy, but it's in plain view... plus passengers would be tempted to piss me off with it.
Water spray onto intercooler is a good idea, I can see that working! Also a good motivation for me to move the battery into the boot so I have room for a large water container

1G-GZE would be better, but no thanks! Just put a 1G-GTE in
I'm hard to please!
Rear foggies were too lame, and looked crappy and tacky.
I like the idea of the machine gun though... it'd be hand to have one at the front for taking out those people with road-rage though!

Boost controller switch is an interesting idea!!
Seat ejection would be funny, but thats way too much effort just to get rid of the passenger, i'm better off punching them in the head and pushing them out the window

This is what the switch on my dash is used for (I didn't put this in my list of switch ideas above because I thought it would be too sensible )
Please note all of my ideas in my original post were just for a laugh, like this ----> .
I think that the boost controller switch inside the car is a good option (very handy), much more stealth and less tacky that a rocket launcher style switch. Mine even has a tiny little light in it which is either on or off depending on the boost it is switched to. Very effective and neat

Sounds like you guys should buy a Tarago and drive around picking up Women a-la Bang Bus style, it sounds like you have got what it takes

The boost control switch requires me to get a EBC... So i'll just have to wait for now!
More suggestions welcome

Good idea man, but its got to be one of those import ones that looks exactly like a tarago but smaller with phat rims, a mental kit and a panda paintjob with "The Toyota Slam Van" written on the side in japanese fujiwara tofu style

Put a label underneath it saying " DO NOT TOUCH"
Hook it up to a horn underneath the passenger seat and let the games begin.
Make sure, that when you have a new passenger in the car, and you stop for petrol, on exitting, tell them NOT to touch it, and wait.

I think you should label it "HTFSIK"
Then when people ask what its for tell them
"How The Fuck Should I Know"
and see how long till the penny drops.

It's the switch with the orange spot on it.
The one up front is for the foglights, the two way switch is door lock / unlock.
Although I currently dont have thermo fans, I plan on fucking off the standard fan and putting in some AU thermo's!

ive heard someone spouting on about how he wanted to hook up his cold start injected or something so he could put more fuel into the car when racing and aparently make it go faster
even tho i would think it would make the car just run to rich

is this for all 1GGTE's?
Would it be a worthwhile upgrade for my GZ20?
Are you talking about AU Falcoon 4.0L 6 Cylinder ones?
