    The large size switches fit the 3 on the right. The small more square ones fit the one on the left which is the same size as the your original post photo.

    So yes your empty ones are the smaller square ones.

    Ive looked almost everywhere to find the Small Push Switches that show a Gen 3 Tacoma. CH4x4 has only the rectangle ones for that and 4Runner on the small switches. I can special order them but it will take to long to get in. Anyone know another website to get the switches from ebay just has regular ones.

    Thanks

    Where did you two get this panel? Normally there is a cargo light switch to the left but I have an access cab so I have a lot of empty space with no precut space for switches. I'd like to get a panel like yours for sure.

    I was afraid of that. Looks like that particular panel isn't available anymore. Bit costly anyway.

    It was a special request, I’m sure he would still have the file to make another. The price will be forgotten fairly quickly once you realize how much better the new panel performs.

    Ch4*4 has all the switches you need , you can get the ones labeled small for the ones by the
    Shifter those are small , and the others are normal size , you can scribed anything you need on them or get the ones made already .
    I ordered the ones in Cali raised and the switches where the big ones only which makes you buy the cover plate and install them on the small compartment on the left part of dash . I was ordering from ch4*4 and had my doubts do to what I went thru with the ones from Cali raised , call ch4*4 they will help you I realized they were local in south Florida I put my order on line in the morning and they called me by 3 pm that my switches were ready for pick up , am sure shipping are as fast too .

    Pull out the radio. use a coat hanger or fish stick to pull the wires from down near the gas pedal.

    Can you use a hanger or something to take the wiring from down near the pedal straight to the switch like this pic?

    Just a suggestion... do some homework (aka search) on the light color difference between stock lights and those produced by 3rd party venders. Some are close to OEM, others are way off... also, inquire about dimming capabilities on aftermarket switches.
