    I bought a 2013 Tacoma TRD Sport about a month ago and can’t figure out what this switch does that’s located under the clock. It has a symbol to the far right, I’m not sure if that’s a brand logo or what? When flipping the switch to the right, the lights turn on. I thought it might be an aftermarket parking sensor, but it isn’t (or at least, it doesn’t work).

    I have that in my truck since it was new. Here is the website. http://www.flyzeye-designs.com
    They should be able to give you a copy of the directions, if not, let me know and I will try and find mine. It has several colors you can use

    It looks like the amber LEDs are lit up on it so it must be getting power. They made 2 different versions, a battery only version, and a version that has batteries but is also hardwired and sits on a magnetic base. Yours looks like a hardwired unit like the one I used to have.

    Those 2 sets of led indicators are for dimming. If you touch the right or left it should get brighter/dimmer. I wonder if it’s just dimmed all the way off. The switch in the middle is supposed to change the LED color as they are dual colored. The one I had was green/white.
