    Will the OTRATTW switches fit into the dash without cutting?

    requires minor cutting. each Toyota switch is keyed differently so the OEM fog light switch only fits into a few of the slots, the dimmer switch only fits into one of the slots and so forth. (from what I remember when I was adding aftermarket switches) Since I wanted the space on the dash I tried rearranging some of the OEM switches and they all weren't completely interchangeable. It just takes a few minutes with a razor or a dremel to cut the key ways off and the OTRATTW switches fit in perfectly.

    I normally take tons of pics when I do work on my truck, but the cutting was so minor I didn't bother, it's easy, just like Large said
