    Hey there,
    I installed a set of Diode Dynamics Ditch lights on my 2022 Sport

    They came with a 3 wire - on-off-on -switch
    But that switch is a round button style switch and I don’t want to drill a hole in the dash or anywhere else if I can help it.

    I bought a “ditch light” switch, it fit the dash and looks great but it’s only for 1 accessory so I can only use the fog but not the backlights (or visa versa)

    I bought an on-off-on switch that works but won’t fit in the dash pockets/holes whatever you call them.

    Can anyone tell me where I can find a switch that will allow me to switch between the backlights and fogs?

    I got mine at https://www.anytimebackupcamera.com/

    I have the High/Low to control my aux highbeams High=on with high beam, Off = off, Low = on with engine on.

    The A/B light switch is for my aux backup lights, A = on with back up lights, Off = off. B = on anytime (note - this replaced the Diode Dynamic 3-way switch like you have)

    Panel came from Meso or Cali raised, can't recal but I had to pre-order and wait a couple of months.

    I have scoured the internet and I think this is the only place that makes the small Tacoma switch form factor in an on-of-on switch.

    Thank you. I have the Meso puddle pod switch and was looking for something similar for some diode dynamics lights. These will work perfectly.

    I can’t believe that nobody else makes dpdt tacoma style switches. You would think by the end of the 3rd generation that there would be a few out there for selection.

    The switch @MESO put out is still the cleanest, and comes with a custom p&p harness with backlighting for $40. I wonder where that was sourced.
