    IMG_0185.jpg I did try to search on here for specifics and didn't find anything. Has anyone put in after market heated seats in their Tacoma? If so what did you use for the on off switch? Where did you put the on off switches? Also does anybody possibly have a walk through step by step of how to? I'd like to us the switches like in my wife's 4 runner but don't see any where to place 2 separate switches. Would like to use the ones like pictured above and prefer not to drill new holes. Just wondering if I'm missing something and don't see where to place them.

    There are a couple TW members here that are 3D printing switch plates for the square cubby (left of the steering column (probably not a great spot for dual seat heater switches)) and another guy who is printing multiple different set-ups for the square compartment just south of the AT shifter. This spot seems like it would be ideal and would look very OEM with those switches.

    Just below the shifter would be the ideal place. Great idea.

    I like the roller switches but the ones I have are toggle.

    Look on Amazon they have a bunch of seat heaters
