    I have a 2011 TRD Sport with manual transmission. I'm adding lights and three switches: flood light, light bar, and a selector for always-on vs. high-beam-only. I prefer push-button switches to rocker and I'd like to keep them all near the factory fog light switch.

    I can do that if I move the auto LSD and inverter switches from the stock location to the lower center console. Which will mean replacing them with the smaller style of swtich. Just wondering how feasible this is.

    For the inverter, I know the factory switch has a wire for each lamp (100 and 400W). Having the new switch just light for on or off would be fine. Honestly, I'm not sure I need this switch at all. I can't think of a reason not to just have the inverter always on when the ignition is on. What am I missing there?

    For the auto LSD, I'm less sure of it being an on/off. It behaves like an on/off, but feels like a momentary. Maybe it's sending the momentary signal and the LSD system is doing the on/off?

    What do you think, is this a reasonably simple swap and re-wire or are there hidden gotchas that I'm not considering?
