Aux Light Switch Source?

I need to get a switch so I can hook up my Acro Lights that came with my new DeMello bumper.

Any recommendations where to find a reasonably priced switch, either OEM or other?

Thanks

Re: Aux Light Switch Source?

if you like the stock look you can go with TRD switches they have a couple of different switches with a light graphic and works with the interior light dimmer dial. I put one for my fuegos on the bull bar and one for the four LaPaz on the roof top.

I picked up the switches on-line at Sparks Toyota
PT297-35072-LS Offroad Lights Switch
PT297-35070-AS Auxiliary Lights Switch

They also have connectors and relays for plugging into the stock electrical system. I have a couple of Toyota install docs and FJ Electrical system doc posted on my blog Not Your Mother's Headlights if you want to review them.

good luck

Paul

five bucks at walmart or local auto store. Popping out the blanks is easy with a credit card or small screw driver. Snip the backing a bit and drill a hole for the switch, push the switch through and I wrapped the backing with electrical tape to snug it up b4 I pushed it in.

Re: Aux Light Switch Source?

Can you wire these switched to the PIAA switches? My PIAA awitch has a green light when off and lights up red when on. I know there are four wires, but will any or all of the switches listed above work with a PIAA coversion? Thanks
