Has anyone ordered this "Air Compressor Switch" from Amazon?
If you have one in your vehicle, may I see a pic of it please? I'm curious if the shape matches the OEM switch.

Thanks.

I didn't get that specific switch, I got one for traction control disable, and one for aux lights, both from CH4x4 and couldn't be happier with them. They are not an exact match to OEM shape and bulb color but very close, fit great, work great, and about as easy to wire as any dimming backlit switch in a Toyota can be. I would recommend them.

I have there LED light switch. First one was defective, but they sent me a new one right away and it's been working perfect for a long time now. I plan to buy a few more from them in the coming months.

ok, thanks for the pics. They look *awfully* similar to the OEM buttons.

How did you move the downhill assist switch? I was told I couldn't.

There's 2 ways to do it:
I ran a bunch of wires between the two locations, carefully marked each one, then clipped connector off and reattached in the new location, attaching wires to wires in the old location. It was tedious but I hated that button not being grouped with "like" traction/offroad related buttons.
In my research on how to complete this task I also came across another member here who took his entire center console apart, untaped all the wiring loom and pulled out just the wires for DAC. They ended up being long enough to fish over the steering wheel and mount the switch on the left dash without any wire splicing.

Nice. I will have to do the cutting and splicing method. I agree. I hate where it is located.

I have the exact same switch. I actually now just buy from that company since they have a great selection. I would recommend changing out the LED's however.

Are the LED's in these switches as easy to change out as our HVAC bulbs? I've never disassembled one.

Yea they're really easy you just pop some clips then pull out the circuit board unsolder the leds then solder new ones in.
