Dashboard Blanks

[H0LLYW00D]

Is it possible to fit a large Toyota switch in the blanks between the cigarette lighter and the aux power plug on my second gen double cab.

 

[yotarob]

Yes, I bought some from the dealer. I think I still have the part number at home. I'll check.

[yotarob]

Here is what I used.

Check this thread for reference. It has been a couple years since I installed mine but IIRC I did have to dremel the hole in the dash just a little to make the switch fit right.

I had to do a little cutting to get the ARB switches in for my lockers/ compressor, but it was the plastic behind the main opening. The main opening is a standard size.

I am going to order this switch . and place it on the far left and middle blanks here as i dont have the security or a-trac switches there. anyone see any big fitment problems, the switches are going to run my auxilary fog and driving lights on the soon coming ARB bumper

Those might be a different size. I don't think I would consider those "dash" switches. You could try pulling one out and stick in a bland from the left side of the dash.

I looked into those, they match my factory for light switch, but they where pretty pricey from the dealer, which is why I decided to go with the rocker style.

Also, the factory push button ones are momentary. Wiring them up requires a lot more effort if you're using them for aftermarket parts.

I check them with another switch that I have and they will fit with so e minor trimming. Nothing dremel can't do with a steady hand. How much Haredim is it to wire piaa lights to these switches. I want to run 1500 backup lights in the rear and a fog and driving set of 2100 lights in the front. Plus arb fogs instead of the factory ones. All on that switch.

 

[yotarob]

Honestly don't know. I'll look around & see if I can find a diagram.

 

[drew02a]

Why would you want to run your backup lights on the same switch as your fog lights? Means you won't be able to use your fogs on the road.

 

[H0LLYW00D]

Four sets of lights. Four switches. Just all the same. For the factory look.

Just wire your rears into your backup lights so they come on when you need them too. You can then add a switch to give them power so that they can be turned on when not in reverse... like when that a-hole behind you won't turn off his high beams... or you are unloading a body in the woods at night.

Oh and I wired my PIAA's to my factory switch. All I really did was use one of the power wires leading to the factory fogs, used that as the "switched power" for my PIAA relay. Simple install.

 

[H0LLYW00D]

can that circut be duplicated to the extra lights i will be adding?

Yes, and you should add a relay to each set of lights you are wiring up. Using the switch to send current to the relay and not to the lights themselves. Those little plastic switches are not designed to have too much current flowing through them.

 

[yotarob]

x2 on the relay. I use them for everything.

anyone have any of those blank switch covers laying around? I need one to replace the one I drilled out for my Lightforces
