    i installed a off/on switch for my fog lights..(center dash) but this is temporary. I want a push on/off switch like the ECT button..(same size) the problem is the ones i find on ebay, etc. look cheap and they dont say the amperage rating. and the ones that do are the bigger ones. (tacoma oem fog light switch larger) want at least a 30 amp switch. same size as ECT to place next to it. any one have a source of quality swithches?
    LOOK @ PIC.....

    Install a relay, your switch will only carry the control load which is next to nothing.

    That's a nice resource. The other option I was going to suggest is try and find another Toyota vehicle with that style switch. But the ch4x4 option seems easier
