Anytime backup switch that matches OEM Toyota light blue?

Search didn't show up with anything. Does anyone make a dual camera switch that matches the light blue switch color? The switch that came in the kit is a darker blue. Matches the CH4x4/CaliRaised switch color.

 

Crack it open and change the LED to ice blue?

 

air on board has several camera switches and their light blue matches oem https://www.aironboard.com/online/p...switches.html?color=390&product_list_limit=80

 

I'm looking for the dual toggle camera switch.

 

I'm not sure if all LEDs can be removed and replacements soldered in, but if it's possible you might consider a used OEM Toyota switch from ebay or something, and pop that open and use the proper blue LED from that.

 

I have actually done this since I wanted "ice blue" switch for my light bar. It's not that hard. Let me find the thread and I can link.

EDIT: Here's the link.

Amazon sells "Treedix" LED assortment for around $10 or so that includes ice blue LEDs. They have SMD, 3mm and 5mm assortments. I wasn't able to source them individually on Amazon though, had to go through Ali Express to get them.

It's really not that hard if you have basic soldering skills and a bit of patience.

 

Would one of their switches work/not work? https://www.ch4x4.com/product/ch4x4-dual-push-switch-for-toyota-front-rear-camera-symbol/

I doubt it. The only matching color I have found is by AOB.

 

Ah, are you saying their blue is not a match?

 

Correct. There blue is a darker blue. AOB has the light blue that matches OEM.

 

Alas, they don’t have tall switches.

 

I reached out to AOB about that. They responded saying they were going to start getting them in January. But I'm guessing they're delayed just like everyone else.

 

Hello all. I emailed them a few days ago and they replied with "we will have them in three more weeks".

 

It's easy to change out the LED to ice blue. No need to wait for "someday."

 

details? I really couldn't figure out what the end-all be-all solution was with the resistor thread.

 

You don't need a resistor other than the one that comes with the switch (meaning you can just trade out the LED for an ice blue one). I didn't like how bright the ice blue LED was, so I wanted to tone it down a bit. So I replaced the resistor with a 1/4 watt 51k ohm one. Perfect level of brightness that matches the stock ice blue lighting. Note that I used a 5mm LED which is brighter, when I should have gone with a 3mm instead (they weren't available at the time) TBH I think you'd be fine leaving the stock resistor and just plugging in the ice blue 3mm LED and calling it a day.

You can get the Treedix 3mm LED package here:

750 LEDs is probably more than you can use in your lifetime but for ten bucks so what. Ice blue is included with the kit, and you'll have extras for next time. As I mentioned in my thread here:

(Post 10), it's pretty simple to crack open the switch with a small screwdriver to access the circuit board and make the LED change. The LED can be oriented however you want it to make the lighting more focused on the text, or offset to reduce brightness. Your call.

Good luck!

 

I did change out my leds to 3mm ice blue and changed the resistors to 10k on 1 Cali Raised switch. It worked well. May still be a tad to bright to match the OEM and OCD may get the best of me.
I changed out the leds on another switch that was from Amazon and it was too bright. Got a bit too anxious I guess with the resistor change and screwed up the solder pad on one side. I'm out 10 bucks. Will try again when the replacement comes in tomorrow. Thanks for the posts showing the details.

 

Excellent; have soldering iron, will replace!

 

Treedix LED replacement worked perfectly! Thanks everyone for your posts! especially @mrkabc
