    Not sure if this switch has been posted before but I thought I'd pass it along.
    Its a 3M brand ON/OFF switch that (with a little bit of shaving) fits into the factory slot.
    Its not a perfect factory fit as you can see in the pictures but it does sit flush and very snug, this works very well for what I needed.

    For $5.88 I think its a decent alternative.

    See the little gap on top? Well the factory switch has a little gap too so it kind of matches :p. [​IMG][​IMG]

    To answer a couple of pm's.
    I got the switch at Walmart, and I don't think it illuminates...i will check in a while just to be positive.

    How did you secure the switch into the blank?

    Check out OTRATTW switches. They're only a couple bucks more, have customizable covers, light up and fit in the factory slots with very little shaving, if any at all.

    www.OTRATTW.com They're great people to deal with also.

    It just fit so snug that it secured itself.
