As an alternative, I just paid $6 for a nice lighted switch from Schucks. it comes with a number of pop-in icons to show the switch function and four colored lenses (red, amber, green, blue). It looks "fine" in the dash and fits perfect.

Their part number: Motormite 85957

My dealer sold me mine for $9.99 not $15 but I give him lots of business, so maybe he likes me!

Ryan, I have links in my tech write-up.

Cole Hersee has a JAVA driven menu and a special switch area on their site.
They make the Toyota switches I have.

Since we are on the subject, is the switch prewired in the cabin? Simple snap-in? If no factory fogs were installed, is all wiring there? How many watts can it handle? If any aftermarket is connect to the factory switch and wiring will it only work with key on ACC? Will they turn off same as headlights when door is open?

Breathe......



It is just a snap in, just pop out the cover and attach the wires to the switch. I don't know about wiring if no fogs were installed, but it only takes a few seconds to pop off the cover and look.

Do a Google IMAGE search for bunny tails...



Some photochop guru want to make this pic bigger for my avatar? I can't get it any bigger than it is and get yotatech to accept it. 140x140 <10K right?

lol funny thing is that people at work called me Charlie Brown for about a month or two.

After resizing so many pics so many times it just becomes second nature in photoshop. I did it alot yesterday too.

What did you do in Photoshop to get it that actual physical size and storage capacity? Image resize? I tried that but couldn't get it any bigger than you saw it. I guess I was doing something wrong or don't know the right trick. How about sharing!!!???

Well since we're already way off topic.
I used image resize but I didn't like how small it was making it somewhere around 140x99 when I would set the width to 140. So I cropped it a little bit on the sides , about as much as I could see going and got it to about 140x117 if I remember right. Then I went into File>Save for web. There you can adjust the file size, file type, etc.. and there ya go.
