I made a thing for switches because the thing I wanted didn't exist.

    Has anyone confirmed with CH4x4 buttons work in these plates? The dimensions on the site don't quite match up with either the 2-button plate or the 3-button plate.

    Example: http://www.ch4x4.com/product/ch4x4-toyota-small-push-switch-air-bag-symbol/

    34mmx24mm

    Or

    Where did the OP get his switches that worked in those sizes? I flipped through a few pages of the thread and didn't find anything about sourcing the switches

    The switch you link works for the very first 2 switch plate I made. Any other version takes the taller, narrower Toyota style switch. I can provide links later tonight, but very busy and on mobile at the moment.

    Not quite, it's a lot brighter, so much so that I found it distracting and killed the backlighting on my switches. That hue itself is probably a slight bit bluer than the rest of the truck, but it's not bad.

    I haven't seen anyone with the amber or the white but I would have to imagine they will be equally as bright, the white probably being brighter. In theory adding a resistor to the lighting circuit should reduce the light output from the switch, I'm planning on playing around with this idea once I get my switches.

    White especially sounds like a nightmare to me, but this from a guy that hated the blue enough to kill the light entirely.

    Has anyone used both the ILL- and ILL+ picks. I read that Toyota uses the negative side to control the brightness. If you only use the + and standard ground you will only have full bright.

    It literally took me a few minutes of staring to figure out that pic is of a model garage. Awesome work. Beyond amazing!!!

    If the dash pocket pops out how do I install the new switch holder? It looks like its held down by screws. I know I read it on here somewhere, but I'd be damn if I can find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
