    I’m about to order some Baja Squadron lights to go in the fog light location in my 2011 Tacoma. I will have them wired to their own rocker switch in a location currently occupied by the blanks that come in the truck from the factory. I’ve seen that Ebay site and the only switch I could find that actually says “Fog Lights” ships from China. Did that once by accident. Won’t do it again.

    The Ebay site has switches for all kinds of things, even beer. Beer?? :confused: Yep. A switch for beer, but no switches that say “Fog Lights”. Does such a switch exist and does anyone know where I can find one?

    The red arrow in the photo below shows where I want to install the switch. I had no idea that the BD lights came with a switch. No mention of that on the web site that I could find. Do you have a photo of the switch that comes with the lights?

    I use Mictuning switches and wire harnesses for all of my lights and have had zero issues.
