    I have yet another question, two actually. I didn't see that label on the mud uk site, did you get it somewhere else? It rocks! Also, does anyone know if that switch would fit in the standard button spots on a 2010 tacoma? Or do you need their adapter? Or some other adapter? Having to ship it all the way across the pond makes me want to be sure to get everything at once.

    I contacted mud uk and they found this switch for me. They do not list it on their site, they were able to get it direct from carling for me who happened to have it in stock at the time. It took me over a month looking everywhere to find this switch and it is extremely rare. I bought 4 switches total, a 3 switch blank and a single switch blank. Total cost was 90 US, expensive but the shipping only took a few days from europe.

    yes, the switches fit the factory spots with a little modification. use the search button, there are other threads on here. I have a 2010 off road and i have no switch blanks so i had to go this route with the 3 switch blank in the console.

    Yup, i decided i was going to put a couple screws in them when i re-installed them. I ended up breaking 1 tab on the bottom of each one when tugging on them to remove them from the bed

    Well because i line-x'd my shift surround i had to bring some more black into the truck. I sent my center console lid off to JPM Coachworks in GA and had them upholster it with alcantara. I also bought some alcantara for the doors while i was at it.

    Just got my console lid back from JPM Coachworks!!

    Good call on the switch. However, I'm not seeing that custom looking label with the pickup truck for the bed light. Maybe the OP made that himself?

    Also earlier, he said that he asked them about it and they were able to find that, but it's really rare.

    the switch is direct from carling. Mudstuff UK was able to find it for me. I looked for well over a month for this switch after seeing it in a carling pdf i pulled from their site. Mud stuff really came through. The guy told me i was very lucky to find it in stock as carling switched are almost never in stock and on the shelf.
