FS: 9-switch mount for center console $45

I made this switch mount for the exterior lights on my 2022 Access Cab.




Each switch controls a separate light position:
Top center: Front LED light bar
Top corners: Left and right cornering lights on the bumper
Sides: Left and right side lights on the A Pillar
Rear corners: Left and right side lights on the ARE cap
Rear center: reverse light in bumper
Center: Rock lights

Since the position of each switch corresponds to the position of the light on the truck, i don't need labels on each switch.



It uses the little square space behind the AT shift lever. That cubby was just collecting junk.


I'm using

$9 APIELE 16mm Latching Push Button Switch 12V DC On Off Black Shell with LED Angel Eye Head for 0.63" Mounting Hole with Wire Socket Plug Self-Locking (Blue/Black Shell)

these switches from Apiele but any 16mm round switch would work.
I'm also using s

$33 Deutsch DT 12-pin Color Pigtail Kit, 16AWG NMMA ABYC USCG Certified Boat RV Wire, 600V, Made in USA

Deutsch 12 Pin connector since 9 switches only need 11 wires to function: That's + and - wires to each switch plus one wire from each switch out to the relay/accessory.

Here is my build thread (in progress).

Also, if you want a different switch configuration, message me and I will see what I can do to customize this mount for your unique requirements.


Installation instructions are attached to this post.

 

The real question, can you 3D print Toyota small switch blanks for the MT rectangular spot in front of the cupholders? I’m betting not enough space. Definitely enough for 4-5 of those round ones.

The holy grail is the cubby pocket below the LSP. It would be a big print but that’s a lotta space to do something useful. I can send you my OEM Qi pad if that’s helpful. I have an aftermarket one in right now but it’s not very good either.

 

You mind if I can get that STL file? I have a MT and I’d like to see if I can splice your design and add a wall to fit the little holder.

 

Unfortunately, giving out STL files is against company policy.

 

With this 9-Switch Panel for the Center Console on 2016-2022 Toyota Tacomas you can control each exterior light on your truck separately. The switches are arranged geometrically:

Top center: Front LED light bar
Top corners: Left and right cornering lights on the bumper
Sides: Left and right side lights on the A Pillar
Rear corners: Left and right side lights on the ARE cap
Rear center: reverse light in bumper
Center: Rock lights





This mount uses

$9 APIELE 16mm Latching Push Button Switch 12V DC On Off Black Shell with LED Angel Eye Head for 0.63" Mounting Hole with Wire Socket Plug Self-Locking (Blue/Black Shell)

16mm APIELE 16mm Latching Push Button Switches available on Amazon

Note that the APIELE switches come with a lock nut which you will not need because the switches screw directly into my mount.

What I like about these switches is they do not light up unless pressed and cannot be accidently pressed because the switch is flush with the metal bezel.

You will have to drill a hole in the bottom of the console to run the wires to your auxiliary fuse/relay box. All 9 switches can be powered from a single 5A source. But each switch should control its light via a relay.

Save your dash switch positions for accessories other than lights or combine lights like I did on my Tacoma.


If I had dreamed up this 9-switch panel eight months ago, I would not have bothered with the dash mounted switches. But since I had already spent the time and money on the dash mounted switches, I figured I should integrate them with the new 9-switch panel.



Now the LED Light Bar switch in the dash controls the LED Light Bar in the front bumper and both cornering lights. And the sight lights switch controls both side lights on the A-pillars and truck cap.

Here's a video of the 9-switch panel in action. As I press each dash switch:
Front lights
Side lights
Rock lights
Reverse lights

Each switch indicates the light (or set of lights) that have been powered on.

How much for a built unit?

 

Sorry for the late reply. I tried to get my local shop to quote this but they are too busy. I don't have the proper crimp tools/skills to do this myself & wouldn't try to sell my wire splicing. So its a DIY project to put the parts together. You can read the reviews from my Etsy listing. Lots of guys/gals have been able to do the install themselves. It does take a few hours but the results are awesome.
