Attractive aux light switch that looks OEM?

I just got my Hella 500 lights for my ARB bumper. I want to do a top notch job installing them like everything else on my rig, but the switch Hella provides looks like zit on a prego dog belly. Is there a switch that looks more OEM that will fit in one of the stock bezel knockouts?

switches

I usually hit the junk yard and check the dashes on the newer vehicles. Sometimes you can claim a pretty nice rocker style switch for 2 bucks thats a better match than what comes in some kits. I might have a set of small rockers out of a 90 prelude if your interested you can have them. I could post or send a pic.
Looks like it might fit perfectly in the larger pop out you have.

I used three of the Toyota ones in the old rig.

There is a factory fog light switch that I think came with Camrys or one of their other cars, not trucks, around the same time the 2nd gen 4runners were made. You can sometimes find it on ebay from time to time. It look slightly more true to the age of the truck than the ones posted above. The style is actually the same as for the hazard switch or the RR DIFF LOCK switch you can see in the pictures above. I installed one so I'll see if I can take a picture for you.

I wish we had more of them.

I only have one open one (beside the 4way switch) and I have 2 more switches to install. Doh

Call your local dealership and ask them to look up part number 00550-35976.

I saw this on ebay for like $25, called the dealership and they're like $15 or something. lol Good luck!
