    Good morning,

    I just bought some led pods and bought a wiring harness, I don't like how the switch fits on my dash. I will upload a photo and am wondering if anyone has a switch that fits perfectly in the provided spots that come In my dash.

    Thanks!

    There are a lot of companies that make switches that fit your blanks. Here’s one:

    I’m guessing your light harness came with a generic Carling style rocker switch. Some people have used those in the stock location as well but had to dremel out some of the retaining tabs in the hole.

    Ch4x4, Amazon, Ebay. There’s a few different options out there that are direct fit into those slots. Toyota has 2 different size switches in the Tacoma so make sure you order the right ones.

    If you go with the ch4x4 switches make sure you pick up a relay as well, the switches are only rated for 3 amps max.

    These switch types on Amazon will fit with a little bit of plastic notch grinding on the dash side. Or you can do what I did to make wiring easier, get an Auxbeam switch panel. They're giving huge discounts on Amazon right now.
