Question OEM Dash Switch - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

jweg84 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-31-2009, 04:32 PM

I am looking to install some lights on the back bumper of my 02 Tundra. I have all the wires run and everything mounted but I want to make it look as factory as possible. I dont really want to start drilling holes in my dash. Preferably I would want one that has an LED or a light that tells me when their on so that I dont blind people behind me (unless im trying to)

I do have a blank switch on my dash but im looking for an OEM switch or one that will snap in like the OEM. I took a pic of what im talking about. Does anyone know where I can get an OEM switch or one that will snap into the same spot as the blank below. A link to a site that sells them or a part number would be great. Thanks to anyone that can help.

Buy one at the dealer, probably like 20 bucks or so.

I know the switch for the heated mirrors has a little amber light when its on. I would use one of those If you can find one.

You can get the switch at the dealer, but I was quoted $59.00. I ended up using a different switch.

Wow thats rediculous! Maybe ebay or a scrapyard would be the best bet. $59 for a switch? Probably costs them $2 at the most.

I got one off ebay, but it took me months or looking and the seller sold it for about $23 Used.

Yeah, I looked on before I posted and couldnt find one. I figured the stealership would be a ripoff. They charge an arm and a leg for something that is extremely cheap to make. I will take a look see around all the local junk yards and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the replies.

Here is the part that fits from the factory:
84871-0C010, Switch Assy, Outer Mirror Heater, $170.32

Seems a bit steep for a button.

Geez didnt realize they were that $$$ ones for 4Runner and Tacomas is like 20 bucks maybe.

Could always cut a hole out for another kinda switch
