Will this switch fit in my dash?

Just like the title says. I need to know if this fog light switch will fit in my 1992 pickup's dash because the ones from auto zone are to small.

Thanks-Blake

I just put Fog lights on my truck , Here's how I did My switch .I used a dremel tool to cut the hole.I think it's about the same size as the switch your talking about . My truck is a First Gen . tho . so this might not help you .

Bipolar, Yours looks a bit to small. Umm OP, that switch should fit anywhere around your whole dash IMO.

like they said, it can fit where ever you want with the right tools

or, if you dont want to mess up your dash, you can get a bent piece of Plexiglas and mount it on there and screw it to the bottom of your dash

Those will fit perfectly. If not just go to Toyota and ask for an OEM fog light switch for 90-95 4Runner/PUP. i got one that way. Not the real one from 90-95 4Runners/PUPs but it is TOYOTA and it is factory.

IF you want a factory one from a 90-95 Surf/4Runner, go to www.hiluxsurf.co.uk and look around there.

If you have these blankout plates (indicated by arrow) in your '92, then that switch "should" fit.



I have four toggle switches from Advance Autoparts mounted on the left side of the dash that one day will be functional again. These ones are a little smaller than regular toggles and have LED's in the tips(red, blue, amber and green):



Probably more info than you needed...

Yup i had those removable plastic covers that came from the factory like that. I broke one and now i have a hole in my dash. I bought one from Auto Zone and it was to small so I'll just go with the one i posted, as long as it fits in the OEM hole.

One of my favorite things to do is go to a junkyard and "browse!" I usually score those blankout covers, fuses, shift knobs...etc-FREE!!

Hey what gives?? I tried ordering a switch from 4X4mod because that's what i ended up deciding to go with but when i hit checkout it says that the recipient is unable to receive payments at this time. Is anyone else having this problem?
