    Looks almost exactly like the switch on a similar kit I bought for my '10. Fit just fine.

    If it didn't for some reason, my suggestion is www.otrattw.com for a switch. Very close to OEM fit, mine needed a light filing on one side only.

    Did it just wire up on your 2010? Or did you have to run the wires yourself?

    I bought the lights, OEM switch, and relay separately. Pretty simple. The only problem I've had is water has gotten into the lights :/ might want to silicon those bishes.

    Switch is not even close to factory.
    It'll fit the center console position, but it will not wire up to the stock harness.

    These kits are "okay" if you can get them sealed as they are a cheap source for the light housings (Toyota cost is $400+), but toss all of the electrical and spend the money on the OEM switch from Camelback if you are pre-wired.
    If you are not prewired, then go with the FJ Cruiser switch and harness:
    http://www.purefjcruiser.com/electronics-c-7/fj-fog-light-switch-harness-p-3820.html
    Then add your own standard cube relay and wire it in.
    This will give you a lighted switch.

    Is there a way to get this lighted switch in my pre-wired Tacoma? Or would that require more extensive modifications?

    Get the switch and harness.
    Compare the harness to your stock connector.
    The 4 matching wires have the same function.
    The 2 extra wires power the light.

    The new connector is a 6-pin... 2 for the dash illumination, 2 for the switch, and 2 for the indicator light.
    On the harness in the picture, the dash illumination goes to the two "free" wires with the quick disconnects.

    Either extract the matching pins from both plugs and move your pins to the new plug, or cut your plug off and splice the new one in.
    You won't use the large connector on the Tacoma... that connector is for the FJ Cruiser.

    The issue then becomes wiring up the pilot light. Your stock system uses ground-true switching, so you can't just connect the light to the hot and ground the other side.
    Easiest way is to ground one side of the light, and run a single 20ga wire out of the cab and connect it to the hot of one of the fogs.
