Hi GrantK,
I probably should have given a little more detail in my last post regarding the new fog-light switch install. I was posting from a new android phone for the first time, but it will take some getting used to, "so I kept it real short". Here's a more detailed description of the install excerpt from my photo album; "See below"
Quote:
"...I finally replaced my original aftermarket Fog light "Rocker switch" made by 'otrattw'. From day one I never should have installed it because it didn't fit in the factory "knock-outs" on the dash made for the accessories.
As a result I had to cut out the trim panel "switch bay flange" to make it fit. A few weeks ago I'd ordered a brand new switch from a company by the name of "Slee off-road" and last week I received the new switch in the mail. It's a "direct fitting", fog-light switch (upper RH corner) specifically for 5'th gen 4Runners; no cutting, no alterations necessary.
The thing I like about it is that it's a "push button" type switch, just like all the others on this panel. It has an 'led' indicator for when the fog-lights are on. It also has an etched "luminescent lamp icon" that glows at night with the others, when the headlights are on...

Day time: "Everything off"
Evening: "Dash w/illumination lighting only"
Night fall: "w/dimmer illumination & fog-lights on"
NOTE: "Remember... you'll find 12V on the green wire at the RSCA button (or which ever
'Instrument Illumination' power supply source you choose) whenever the Head/parking lights are on; the dimmer dial (rheostat) works from the ground circuit (gray wire) side. Also, Here is the
"very best" essay/tutorial on this subject of
"Factory style switches" that I've seen here... or anywhere else for that matter, by one of our very own forum community members,
