I want to change it cuz it looks horrible and i think it would look nicer if i changed the switches, I didnt like my painted case so i bought a regular case from llama and ive decided to change the switches

If you peel the double sided tape off the switch bank you will see that the switches are in fact DPDT. One pole switches the sensor lead for enable/disable, bank1/2 or flash protect/unprotect, the other switches the LED states. Note that the enable/disable switch also sends 5v back out of the switch to power the X2 chip. The easiest thing to do would probably be to unsolder the switches and then solder wires from the holes to the switches you are mounting. So long as you keep the poles and the points they switch to correct you should be fine.

There is a schematic I made posted in this forum, I've got a link in my sig.
