Toyota OEM Style On/Off Rocker Switch

I recently did some electrical wiring on my 1991 4Runner and wanted to put in a nice switch that would work in the 2 knock outs on the left hand side of the dash. I looked all over town and after finding nothing that I wanted I decided to look online. After looking around town I got a feel for what switches were going for price wise. I went to Ebay to see what, if anything, was listed on there. I ran across this auction (link posted below). I decided this looked like a good deal to me so I went ahead and purchased a couple switches. The seller said shipping would be free and fast and he was right. At first I wasn't thrilled about waiting for them to show up in the mail but I didn't end up waiting more than a couple days.

The switches work great, transaction went very smoothly and the prices were very competitive. Seller also has good selection of switches upon request. If you are looking for an OEM Style Toyota On/Off Rocker switch I highly recommend these ones!

cool i did the same thing a while back but ended up using a rear window push button defog switch from an older 4runner off ebay, it has a little lamp behind it too that turns on with parking lights and gets brighter when depressed even without the lamp you can tell its depressed works great and looks good.

I just ordered 2 OEM switches from a local Toyota dealer here in Spokane (Appleway Toyota). They don't specifically say that they'll fit older models, but the knock outs are close to the same size. I'll pick them up tomorrow and we'll see if they fit.

Update; the Toyota OEM switches (part #00550-35976) fit well and look good. My only critique is that the bulbs in the switches are not very bright:
