Fog Light Switch
In case anyone is looking for a good switch to run aftermarket lights, it looks like the Tacoma switch is as close to stock as we can get...
From the FJcruiserforums.com website:
"Toyota Tacoma Fog Light Switch (84160-04010)
Optional:
Toyota Connector Housing (90980-11090)
Termainal Wires for Connector (82998-12340 4 required)"

I just ordered mine to wire up two lights on my roof rack

That's a nice install. I've got a rocker switch which is from the older Tacomas that I used on my DRL's. I didn't have the connectors though and bought some generic female tab connections, ran my own wires and it worked alright. It doesn't look that good (not that you see it), and it's not as secure. I like that toggle better also.

I installed my IPF fog lights using the link you called out. The switch looks factory. Very clean. You can get all the switches and connectors from www.toyotapartsales.com.

Looks good, I like the push switch, more like stock over the rocker kind.
That rocker kind is what I used in my '91 4Runner.
I will have to pick up one of the push botton ones later, as I plan on putting my old Hella 500s on the future ARB bumper up front.
May do a DRL mod too with a switch like that.
Just got a fresh tech article in yesternight from member 02Surf SSR-X 4xSport which I will be putting up in the tech section within the next week where you can use a switch to disable the DRLs.

I just wanted to post some pictures here.
Fits perfectly in my Tundra dash (after some slight modifications to the switch) Will soon be connected to 2 driving lights and 1 pencil beam light.
Part numbers & prices (the same as the OP) are as follows (from a 2005 Tacoma):
Switch: 84160-04010 ($36)
Connector: 90980-11090 ($3)
Pins (order 4): 82998-12340 ($4 ea)
It is a little far away to push when driving, but I will leave it on all the time (so the lights automatically come on with the high beams)
The switch was "Keyed" for a different opening, so I had to shave off (I actually melted them off with a special soldering iron "bit") the keys, after that the switch fit perfectly. You can see where I melted the plastic, it's the rough areas on the left hand side.
And here's how to wire it up (copied from toyota-4runner.org)
To Illuminate when lights are powered on:
[1] ground
[2] wired to [3], then wired to relay that is powering your lights
[3] wired to [4]
[4] power (usually from high beam circuit for driving lights)
To Illuminate with dash lights (parking lamps)
[1] ground
[2] dash illumination wire (from another switch, rear of radio, etc)
[3] power (usually from high beam circuit for driving lights)
[4] wired to relay that is powering your lights
