    I am wiring a set of Hella 500 series driving lights and PIAA 510 fog lights to my new Relentless Fab bumper.

    I think I've got all of the wiring figured out, I am just not sure about the OEM rocker switch.

    Which prongs are for power, ground, and relay/trigger? I have read elsewhere that the top prong is ground, the middle prong is 12v power, and the bottom prong is trigger/relay switch (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/oem-fog-light-install-prewired.121903/).

    Can anyone confirm this?

    I'm wiring up a 20" bar for my bumper. Where did you get that switch, I'd like to have one? I looked all over and couldn't find one to fit the slots in my dash. So I had to rig one up to the filler that sticks in there.

    I just wired up some PIAAs with this exact switch a couple days ago. I can confirm that with the LED on top (like in your pic) the prongs on the back are wired as you listed: top=ground, middle=12v power, and bottom=relay.

    Bringing back an old thread, but did anyone actually mount this switch in their truck? Can you post a pic of where you did?

    This switch will fit all first gen pre-cut slot. Your vehicle description shows a 2017, this switch will not fit a third gen. The cutout on third gen are different.

    As I mention, this factory toyota switch will fit all first gen cutout. Yes, it will fit where the factory RR switch is at. Yes, it will fit next to the dual 12v plug in.

    I'm hoping to get that switch installed this evening in the lower section of the center console. I've been wanting some footwell lighting for a while. I did some bench testing yesterday, will post up a picture once they're installed.

    Yes. They fit there as well. Had mine in there until I got a fab plate for under the radio.

    Okay, over here I don't have any.

    I'd like to have it vertical, but I guess that it's sideways or nothing lol.
