    So I recently bought and installed a light bar underneath my grill. It looks great and I love it. But the thing is that the switch that came with the light bar does not fit the extra switch holes near where the fog lights are. So I was wondering what website I could go to to find a custom switch or button for a 2006 tacoma.

    Check out OTRATTW.com. Tons of different switches and they're top notch quality.

    These have worked well for me. A slight bit of filing the tabs, but nothing that shows once you install the switch. Relatively cheap compared to most. I've had them installed 4 yrs with no issues.

    EDIT: At $14.99, that MicTuning switch above my post is probably the way to go though. :)

    I just installed 3 air on board switches into my truck, you can check my build thread for pictures. they are pricey ($28.50 per switch) but they are worth the money for that OEM look.

    I've had no problems with either size of the mictuning switches. I have them in the left side blanks and in the lower center console.

    In the trash can, and then buy a proper switch like the ones listed above.

    make sure you get the right size for the location you want. there are the big tall switches like for where the fog lights are, and then there are the small short switches below the HVAC control.

    I only have 1 factory opening, but ditches and a bar.

    what's wrong with the KC switch? it only has to be a button right?
