Aftermarket Switches

Installed the Rigid fog lights. It comes with an ugly red switch. I have one empty spot on the left side of my steering wheel next to the electric rear window. Does anyone have a good website to buy a switch online? It doesn’t have to say fog lights I’ll use anything.

 

I used the one from Toyota in “Nitori’s” fog light thread, mainly because I wasn’t sure what to get. I’m sure there are cheaper aftermarket switches.

It lights up.

 

Mictuning led bumper light bar on Amazon. I think it's 21mm x 39mm

 

Ch4x4 has lots of good switches.

Otrattw is where I get mine.

 

Air on Board has Tacoma size switches in lots of colors and labels.

 

Cool. Is there a write-up on this mod somewhere?

 

I used CH4x4 switches

 

There is a thread called DYI Garage Door Opener but it will depend on what brand of opener you have. Mine was powered by a 12 volt battery so it was easy to connect to the fuse block, some openers run on 3-5 volts so you need to either install a voltage converter or keep using batteries.

 

Can you not wire the rigid fogs into the normal fog light knob located near the steering wheel?

 

I am thinking of buying these. I originally bought the Cali Raised brand switches but the switches failed after only about two months. Very unhappy with their product. The internal parts of the switch appear to have broken. The first clue was that the lights would get stuck intermittently in either "on" or "off." The last straw was when I started smelling smoke in the cab. It was very disconcerting. Eventually, I learned that the little blue lights in the switches were melting the plastic of the the button because the internal pieces had broken, causing the lights to shine at an angle. I messaged the company a month ago and they claimed they would send me replacement switches. Sad.

 

This is what I did with my rigid fogs. With the adapter there wasn’t even any splicing or cutting needed.

 

I just found these on Amazon. I like that I can fit two switches in a single stock location. Build quality seems pretty good.

I bought mine here and they work great. I've only had 1 light go out and that's from constant use. I have it connected to my puddle lights to turn on my rock lights when the doors come on.

 

CH4x4 switches and Shapeways 2 slot panel;

 

How did you guys get the CH4x4 switches to be flush. I tried every which way and they don't sit like that. Look how shitty mine came out. I think they sent me wrong ones.

 

Those are the wrong size ones for that panel. Those are for a different switch panel in your truck.
