Lighting Switches

Hey TW,

I'm looking at adding some lighting to my new 2020 OR that has the auto high beams and multi terrain monitor. The issue is this takes up all the blanks for switches. Anyone come across some cost effective and clean ways of mounting switches for some lights/accessories?

Thanks.

 

Cut. It’s free.

 

Visit @MESO and get a custom switch panel for that area. He’s the expert but it should be the same install as the pre-facelift trucks and all of your stock switches will work too.

Also check out SwitchPros.

 

SwitchPros looks good, pricey though. I just haven't seen anyone with the camera and traction control buttons there with a panel.

 

They appear to be the same as all the other standard size push switches. They should push right into any @MESO panel. He makes one that replaces that entire area, not just the cubby area like @CaliRaisedLed and others.

 

I'm in the same boat as the OP. New 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro, no empty switch blanks. Aesthetically, I like switches that look like switches. Plus, the SwitchPro, sPod and similar look like they are cobbled in, not OEM. I don't have a problem installing a fuse/ relay panel under the hood as necessary. I do have an sPod system on my '14 Jeep Wrangler, with "real" switches up by the rear view mirror that look good. But the Taco just doesn't have any empty real estate. I don't even have a sunglasses holder.

Subscribed to this thread, and will likely be contacting MESO.

 

Switch pros super clean and removes all the subsequent relays and fuses for future lights.

 

The switch pros is really nice, and I like the lack of relays/fuses for future installs, but damn that's a lot of money. Switchpros plus Meso's plate is close to $700.

 

they took away the change cubby???

 

At least on the TRD Pro, apparently so.

 

Yeah, the cubby is gone on my TRD Off Road.
Edit: The panels from MESO wont work with a switchpro, too many switches needed below it.

 

The cubby was useless for me. Wouldn’t even fit my wallet or phone. It was one of the first thing to go.

OP, get a custom Meso switch panel, it will solve all your needs.

 

Wait, did they remove the aux jack in the 2020?

 

It was that way on the 2020 Sport and Off Road I looked at too.

 

Buy once cry once, I have the SDHQ panel

 

Yep. Was that widely used though? I haven't used an aux jack in like 10 years, but I have no idea how popular they still are. I'm guessing with bluetooth audio and now standard Android Auto/Apple CarPlay functionality that kind of made the aux jack less important. I'm guessing most would gladly trade their aux jack for CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility.

 

I use it all the time, I dont feel like pairing my friends phones with my truck just so they could listen to some shit song 1 time.

 

I just checked, and it is indeed gone. 3 usb ports though lol. Everyone can charge their devices.

 

Damn you and your 3 usb ports! That is a feature I would like. 2 factory usb ports for the rear would be great.

 

Now to your actual question, check out mesos switch panels. You might be more in the market for the overhead one. I installed one in my truck in preperation for my lights.
