    Hi!
    Got a nice 24 inch light bar for Xmas. I want to install it on my top rack, facing backward for trailering and camping purpose. I need the switch to be able to do these things:

    -Can turn on the lights while the truck is off.
    -Fits a 3rd gen unused dash switch space, if possible the push on type like the rest of the dash.
    -Has a nice logo (I like the Zombie one) that lights up with the other switches.

    I was trying to avoid a relay setup and connect the switch directly since I want to use it when the truck is off and I do not know how/if I can do a relay setup directly to the battery (and it adds an extra component). All the push type switches I saw were for a relay setup (3 amps). Only the rocker switches were rated 20 amps, but I really would prefer the push-on type.

    So I guess my questions are:
    -Does a 20amps push-type dash switch exist for a 3rd gen Taco?
    -If not, which 20 amp rocker switch you know works on our trucks?

    Thanks!

    Thanks! I guess the relay thing will work even with the truck off, so I will try this route...
