    Well, for foglights im assuming most people are putting them to the left of the steering wheel, with the power mirrors and traction control and what not, the blank plugs below the Heater Controls are apparently a different size. So a lot of switches you buy may require some shaving of the plastic to fit correctly which sketches me out because i'd be afraid of making it too big lol

    I thought all six switches on the left of the steering wheel were the same size? You should never have to trim the dash to fit a switch. Buy the right switch to fit, or modify the switch!

    Agreed, apparently the switches that are below the Heater Control/Radio are a different size than the ones left of the steering wheel. When you go on aironboard or whatever its called they specify that the switches are different sizes. I've heard people just buying generic switches having to shave plastic in to make them fit, its a ballsy move. They'd be cheaper that way but they also don't look close to OEM in my opinion. I just checked out the Mictuning, they are a lot cheaper! thanks for the tip. the switch i looked up for fog lights states that it must be used on the left side only. Which means it should fit no problem!

    Hi brett, did you check your truck if it is pre wired already for foglights. I went to dealer for them to install my aftermarket oem fog lights, but unfortunately they refused to install it. And so im planning to do it by myself, im hoping that it is pre wired already since its a sR5 and v6.

    Anyone know if you have to get the body control module flashed by the dealer in order to use the factory fog light wires? That would probably be pricey if so.

    Hey brother, yes you are pre wired. If you're curious about the switch it's this one. If you have long fingers you can reach around and poke it out from
    behind. The coupler is stuck to the back of the plug. I do know if you buy the fog light switch from the dealer it comes with the relay built in. Then you just need to connect them underneath. If you don't get the dealership fog light switch in not sure where the relay goes. Is anyone able to inform us lol.

    I'm assuming the dealer didn't want to install them incase they were cheap ones which caused damage somehow. They probably just want to keep their hands clean.
