    Yeah they do. For $28 a piece, I might just get one and try it.

    I have three installed. The fit and finish is comparable to the factory switch. The only difference is the AOB switch has a smooth finish.

    The wiring is simple. You can wire the back lighting to your parking lights and the switch will light up when you turn the lights on. Each switch also has an indicator light that lights up when the accessory is in use.

    The back light feature will not dim with the dimmer do to the way the switch is wired internally. The dimmer functions in reverse. I found that the dimming function was not necessary because the back light is not too bright.

    Did you need to trim or file the hole to fit it in there?

    Does any one know if the 2012+ trucks use the same switch? I have been looking at these and afraid to pull the trigger not knowing for sure if they will fit since they do not list 2012-14 in the desc.

    I have one of these switches for reverse lights in a 2013. Fit is perfect. As others have said the dimmer is reversed. Mine gets briter as i dim the dash. I just set the dash about mid way and it balances out. I didn't catch the problem till I was done and didn't feel like rewiring it.

    Installed their zombie switch in my spare slot on the left of the steering wheel. Hooked it up to the LED bar from the group buy. Wiring is simple and just needs a few connectors. Switch looks factory, but is more of a smooth shiny finish than the oem switches. The switch fits in fine, but has a little play and can pop out easily.

    These switches will work on the left and also the center console up to a 2011 i believe. 2012 -2014 center switches are smaller and are the 900 series. They are supposed to be released in the next 7-10 days. Cant beat the price. Its a bit more but, but has a nice factory harness attached to it.
