Fired odometer lights

$134? i remember i had to replace one on someone trucks like a year ago because they shorted it trying to install an aftermarket headunit...it was like $50-70 ish iirc [/QUOTE]

That's what the dealership quoted me. I said the same thing that's that's way too much for just a switch

 

^^too much...
ill ask my friend at toyota tomorrow...

 

Yaa well I got them to cover mine under warranty

 

The part labeled "Dimmer Switch" in the parts listing is $140 ($101 at Camelback), but it is the headlight stalk... they refer to it as "dimmer" because it dims the high beams. They should call it "Headlight Switch"


Buuut... Ya, $134 is MSRP, Camelback is $97

That's what happens with proprietary parts.

At best, that switch "only" fits every current production Toyota.
At worst, that switch only fits the 2nd Gen Tacoma.

Like I said... it's not like 1965 when every auto maker used the same Allen Bradley headlight switch and dimmer and just put their own knob on it.
These dimmers only fit a small number of vehicles, and they only burn out when people short something out installing a stereo, so there is zero demand for aftermarket.


If $100 is all I'd ever spent due to a fuck up, I'd be happy.

 

To say the least. id have to agree with you on that one
