    Similar to this? http://www.lieblweb.com/images/techlinks/heatedseat/Switchinplace.jpg

    Here's a thread you might find useful (maybe). It depends on the heated seats that you have. What kind of switch does it have now? On/off or variable setting?

    ya that is it, but one for each front seat, i have read the fj link and they seem to have issues frying the controller for the seats.

    Does anyone know who could make a center console plastic with out the cup holder or the seat switches, then i could cut them into each side and put other switches in the middle.

    So, you already have a switch near the cup holder?
    I installed heated seats in my drivers seat and that switch (pict from earlier) came with the kit and I installed the button where you see it.

    I think it's gonna cost you a lot of extra time, effort and money just to do what (I think) you want to do.

    Are you adding switches for something and need to make room? Still not exactly sure what you're trying to do.

    I am modding the truck to be a 4X4 rig and will be adding aftermarket products that need to have in cab switches and i want the truck inside to look as "stock" as possible. OEM would be a better word, i have added heated mirrors to the left side in one of the blanks and will be adding rear fogs also to the last blank there.

    I have included a quick photoshop so show what i have for my center console. I want place the switches for the eventual rear and possibly front lockers and compressor switches with the seat switches or move the seat switches as mentioned above to between the cig lighters and have the compressor and lockers ans also 2 ligth switches there. Ideally the second picture illistrates my idea for the light switches between the cig lighters and i can leave the heated seat switches where they are and fit the locker switches below the seat switches.

    The other idea I have is to use the illistration of the second picture but for the center console have a new one made without the cup holder and look something like picture three

    Here's an idea that's a little easier to do than what you have in your picture.
    Why don't you just put the ARB switches where the heated seat switches are (cutting a square hole to remove the round holes). Relocate the heated seat swtiches somewhere in that same area......below or above the ARB switches.

    That Aux button - did you measure it? Can you buy it from the dealer? Another option for lighting, are these:

    They fit because I have one in my truck.

    this switch pictured in the middle image is a stock Tacoma fog switch. I know the lower switches are smaller, but im curious if one could make the hole big enough to fit the larger switch. The whole issue is steming from finding a light switch for my aux lights that looks OEM.
