    Hi guys,

    Looking to add fogs lights to my SR and i decided I'm going to add a switch instead of buying the new stalk for the steering wheel. Wondering if there is a OEM switch and wiring harness I can buy that will fit in this blank.

    I appreciate the help guys!

    they have toggle switches that can fit in there.

    also, those round switches the size of a nickel with the LED light indicator

    I believe that switch you found there is a little too big cause the blank in my truck meastures 34mm x 24mm which is 1.33" x .94".

    I also want to do the same thing. I installed fog lights and the switch in a 2007 Tacoma. It was an easy job. Wiring harness, and switch came with the fog lights. For my 2016 Tacoma SR, I need to find fog lights that will fit properly. I'm sure in time they will be offered as an aftermarket kit.

    I don't want to sound like an idiot, but how do you get the black coverings off where the fog lights are to be installed? Also, what holds the fog lights in place?

    No question is a dumb question Dave!
    Reach down behind the bezel and there is 6 clips like this and it pops right off!

    Here is what it looks like without the bezel in. I test fitted a light from a 2nd Gen and it works!

    Thanks for the info. Will give it a try. Looks like it may be easier than I thought.

    Your welcome man, it's super easy! Just reach down behind there with one hand an pop the clips the same time as your pulling on the front with the other hand!

    Hey chet,
    Could you measure one of those center switches for me. Mine measures 34mm x 24mm just to make sure they are the same. Thanks man!
