    So this play is all on the left side panel. I still haven't tested stock switches in there but the stock blanks (from my other Toyota) fit well. I have the same aftermarket switches on my other Toyota and these also fit well without play.
    Also these aftermarket switches do fit into the center 7 switch one just fine in all the holes. So really the play is only on the left side one in all cubbies. Again, not a big deal as I will fill the gaps with a rubber material or maybe just plain old ducktape.

    Is that an OEM wireless charging button in the left cubby panel? How does it fit compared to the aftermarket Ditch light buttons above it?

    No that's an aftermarket on/off switch still loose. But like I said they all fit fine in the center 7 switch setup.

    Just pulled the stock switch and installed into the panel and voila! Snug as a bug. So aftermarket switches like you said are a tad smaller. Again, no biggie for me as not a lot of play needed to fill. It's more in the plastic grabbing mechanism of the switches being too narrow.

    I knew I wasn't going crazy. I could have made the panel holes smaller so the aftermarket switches would be snug, but then anyone that wanted an OEM button wouldn't fit. So I opted just to make them fit the OEM and you will just need a thin strip of foam or something to take up the wiggle room.
    This week sometime. I have a big print going with multiple panels.

    What's even weirder is I use the same "button hole" that I drag and drop on both cubby and lower switch panels. Oh well, with so many variables it's 99% good.

    Abs glue works fine to adjust hole size, just paint it on and file/sand it when cured. More permanent than tape and can be used on either the switch or the hole.

    Question related to these small push switches: I know the switches come with a connector but it's prewired, is there a place to get the connector and pins loose so I can make switchbacks? Ch4x4 has them for the left side switches but not the center ones.

    Does any one have a source for a custom 3 position switch like one found to the left of the steering wheel for truck cargo lamp? I’m looking to use meso’s cubby panel but the mocha performance lights have amber/white function on them. I would like to be able to toggle from amber/off/white.
    My optimal setup would be to have a 3 position fog and ditch light switch with space for other goodies (garage doors ,winch etc)
    Pictures are off the mocha performance instagram.

    Been looking for something like that myself but so far only the momentary sienna vent switch comes close to a stock look. A true on/off/on latching switch would be great for front/rear camera. Hopefully someone with pull at arb, ottrattw, or mictuning can get us this option in an oem style.

    Love mine so far. Just waiting on the blanks he’s working on. I wish CH4x4 sold just switch faces to fit on the switch body so I could wire up all my switches with blank faces then just order a new face once I know what I need

    Yep no hurry but don’t want to miss the next run. Still have to wire up my bussman, which gives me 5 switched relays. 7 switch will work perfect if I sacrifice the Qi charger switch which I never use

    I was lucky to have a few blanks from my Scion after I just installed the same exact switches in it. Of course as I get my switches coming in there is less of a need for the blanks. I just received the last of my switches needed to do my install. I'm honestly believing a lot of the online companies all use the same button manufacturers (can't speak for ch4x4 though)as they all have that brighter blue color lights. Each of these buttons all came from different manufacturers through Amazon and eBay but the letters all seem nearly identical.

    I just wanted to illustrate the blue of the switches and not hijack this thread, but below are some pictures of different buttons I installed on my Scion. You can see all the similar blue.
