    2012 DCSB O/R debadged
    JBL/Entune Touchscreen Navigation with speed sensor override mod, JBL Speaker refit, debadged, chime removed, overhead led mod, switch LED mod, rear cupholder LED mod, ImMrYo Rear-View Mirror Lift Bracket #339, Custom Cobra CB install, Iggy Switch panel, OEM Katzkin leather seats, Seat heaters, Illuminated 4runner 4WD switch, 4runner side mirrors (heated, turnsignals, puddle lamps), husky x-act fit floor mats, climate control knob upgrade, air injection pump filter mod, underhood LED light mod, KB Voodoo bike bar
    Since the OEM was starting to show some wear, i ordered a replacement part (aftermarket) and then disassembled each side, removed the old LED and replaced with the new. Very easy but i had to stop and order different SMDs as this circuit board takes 2mm instead of the 4mm ones i had. Very tiny LEDs but not difficult job. I didn't want to mod the OEM one just in case i ff'd it up.

    The LEDs i used from ebay: 0805 SMD https://www.ebay.com/itm/232535973327
    and the aftermarket SW controls: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ste...32796910713.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.Zm9fcx
    This was plug and play and all functions work great. Although, it is interesting, the aftermarket SW trim is slightly darker? but seems to match the factory shift knob 100% and i like it. There is also a small button under the mode which does not light up and appears to have no function...
    hope this is helpful.

    That Aliexpress links takes me to their homepage. When I search for Tacoma steering wheel controls I get crap. Did the packaging have a part number that I could search?

    AliExpress makes it impossible to link to a specific product. Not sure why.

    No joy... copied and pasted your search. Nothing for Tacoma on first 5 pages of the search. Also none for other Toyota models looked like the ones on my steering wheel, 2013 TRD O/R no Entune - Non-JBL.
