Is there any way of putting a key ignition switch instead of the kill switch?

all you do is buy your ac or dc ignition disconnect the kill switch and remove put the green off the new ignition into the same hole and connect the pink wire to earth and that's it just cut the rest off and tape up

Will I need to make the hole bigger or can you get smaller ignition,as it looks a smaller diameter?

I had to dremmel quite a lot of metal out of my li125 s3 headset to make room for the rubber covered part that goes inside the headset.

Wear glasses; I had to go to hospital to get a piece of aluminium out of my eye. Dope :oops:

aye, if its a series 3 li you will, series one and 2 theres enough room without dremelling.

I'd always question why you want one though personally i prefer the push button kill switch.
