    Hey guys,

    I want to install a light switch in the switch blank under the radio in my 2013 tacoma. I have two blanks next to where my A-TRAC and usb port are. Whats the best way to tackle this? I have searched the forums and everyone seems to use the blanks to the left of the steering wheel but all mine are taken. If there is already a thread for this and I missed it please send me in the right direction. Thanks so much!

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Mictuning makes switches that fit down there as well. I have one next to the Atrac switch to control my light bar. The color isnt a perfect match, which kinda bothers me when I start thinking about it.

    Thanks guys! I also noticed that when I removed the blanks it looks like toyota already pre wired those spots. Now I am just trying to sort out where the hell they go so I can add these ditch lights.

    Aux back up lights, Bed lights, Re-located trailer plug, Good dooby, a.k.a. jumper cable mod, Heated seats, back up camera,
    Forget about the factory wiring and install your own wiring for the ditch lights.

    Just a bunch of seat heater wires that are more of pain in the ass to utilize. Leave em alone and run your own harness.
