    There is a FJ offroad light switch from Toyata as shown in post #5 of this thread:

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/161664-extra-toggle-switches-us.html

    The part# is wrong there, it ends in SW instead of SH (SH is the harness), but you will probably want the harness as well. Kinda pricey, but totally factory in appearance.

    When looking on your website to order one, is there a place to add the actual led bar?

    .
    The numerical designation of the model number denotes the width of the bezel, in your case-210 mm, what you can do is to convert that to inches on a piece of circular cardboard with a line down the middle (that's your mount bolt location), your lightbar will have a bunch of slots to fit these lights, as far as depth of the light, yes it should work, it may be tight, 210mm is pretty big, two should work, idk about four of them though.

    How much are the led light bars? Where to buy? Will it work with factory (2008) grille? Or will I have to buy aftermarket mesh grille? Any help would be appreciated! Thank!

    On the first post in this thread Jerry has the prices listed. The stock plastic grill blocks too much of the light to be of much use. Many members have purchased a set up from Homertaco who makes finished mesh grills for our trucks as well as selling the mesh separately for the DIY crowd. Others (like myself), installed a billet grill from Grillcraft. Either way, you are going to have to ditch the interior plastic pieces of the stock grill to accommodate a lightbar and lights.

    I'm just wondering why I don't have any fasteners for the LED bar brackets. It kept me from mounting on my 21" bar last night.

    Are you talking bolts to mount the LED light to the mounts? Because we don't provide those as they would be different for all lights. I know I gave you all the hardware when you came and picked the light bar up.

    Ahh.. okay I see, disregard my PM in that case. I am missing the bolts to mount the extra LED bar brackets to the mount itself. I also can't even put the bolt through the bracket itself when trying to mount the LED bar itself on. The slots are too thin. Any advice?
