    Hi All
    Just installed a set of Rough Country Ditch lights on my 2008 Tacoma. Everything went perfectly except the 3 position switch does not fit into the opening on the lower left side of the dash below my switches for fog lights, locker, etc.

    Has another member come up against this issue and how did they overcome it. I can certainly modify the opening to make the switch fit but would rather not cut anything if there was an aftermarket or batter solution for the 3 position switch.

    Thanks
    Rich

    I had to do something similar with a 3 position blue seas switch. I widened the dash hole to fit it. I didn't want to, but figured I could always replace the dash piece if I really wanted to. Or, if I removed the lights I would just repurpose the switch for something else.



    EDIT

    Nice name BTW, I surf fish just about every weekend in the VA side of Assateague. I'm from Chincoteague :thumbsup:

    Thanks - I just spent a week down there during the "tropical depression" 2 weeks ago. Took my new 21 4Runner trying to catch Red Drum but got completely skunked this year. As soon as I left on Wednesday afternoon my buddy caught 5 that night. I swear he could catch fish in the backseat of my truck - My typical luck. Thanks for your help - gonna see if I can source an aftermarket solution.

    I've yet to snag one, all my fishing buddies including my dad have caught slotties this fall. I did manage a nice bull red this summer which was a nice surprise.

    You must be friends with Joe, I know he overnights alot on the MD side for the bulls.
