changing door panels! help!

I have an 88 4runner that I am changing the door panels from all the power windows and door locks to the base model manual window type. I will be using stainless steel toggle switches for everything, I bought some really nice double throw, double pole reversible polarity switches but they only have 4 places to plug the wires into. I need 5 places, 2 from the window motor and 3 others from the wiring harness...hot, ground etc...I am making a custom diamond plate center console with the switches in it...pics to follow if there is any interest in this. my reason for the change is so that when i put my half doors on, there is a quick disconnect inside the cab, which makes it easier to still have th power options without the full power door panels. does anyone know where i can get a good quality stainless toggle switch with the 5 prongs to plug into or a way to splice 2 of them together to use the ones a have already bought. thanks!

why not find another set of switches, and just put those on the half door, instead of making it all inbred?
