Mysterious little switches...
Can't believe I've owned this car two years and never noticed these two little switches... they're up under the dash on the driver's side, but don't appear to do anything noticeable when toggled.
Part of the K40? Something else? Any input appreciated.

Hydraulics!
Maybe the PO had some kind of extra lighting inside the car?

One's for the homing bird and the other one is for the circular front bumper saws?

interesting. Maybe a P.O. put in seat heaters or something. Can you follow the wires?
I am going to bet it is for the oil slick sprayers.

I looked for the hood-mounted canon, but to no avail.

Maybe the PO made an override for the spoiler. Try hitting the switch then raising the spoiler.

If it's not the switches for the blinker fluid cooling fans, I would guess they make the back seat big enough for adults.

perhaps its for the cross-drilled brake lines or o-pipes??
Could be a valet switch for an aftermarket alarm as well but since there are 2 i kind of doubt it. I'm going with lighting as well. Maybe some cool blue neon up under the dash!

Definitely lighting. That car used to sport a really cool UCLA neon sign...

Maybe it's an ignition cut off for anti theft.
