Okay so if you have 30min - an hour and 10$ this is what you can do.
Tools: Scissors/Knife, Drill (optional you can use the knife), Lighter and pliers also your brain.
Supplies: 4 wire connectors, 4 feet of any gauge wire I used 16 gauge, 4 pieces of shrink wrap, electrical tape and a switch.
First Locate grab the plug in with all the wires and unplug it strip the electrical tape off the wire holder and pull the wires out, now locate the VSC wire its red and blue and is the 4th wire from the right and is on the 2nd row from the top cut it about 4 inches away from the plug and strip the rubber off the end to expose 1/4 inch of copper.
Next run your 2 wires you bought through the rubber grommet shown here this pic is slightly out of order its here to show you where to run the wires through
Now that you've run your wires through the fire wall you need to place your shrink wrap over the wires and take both raw ends of the wire and place them into the wire connectors and crimp the wire connector shut
Repeat the previous step for the other wire now place your shrink wrap over the new connection and heat it up so it shrinks and forms a water tight seal over your new connection.
Now that the engine compartment part is near fished come into your T4R and drill a hole in any location you would like the switch i choose this spot and install your switch how ever you like i did it this way...
Pull your wires close to your newly installed switch from the hole in the fire wall down near to the switch
Attach these 2 wires to the 2 wires coming off your switch via the wire connectors and shrink wrap them just like you did on the other side
Your wires and connections should like something like this
Here's the end result before pulling the slack out of your wires
Now head back to the engine and carefully pull the slack out of the wires and tie or zip tie the slack out of the wires i choose a simply half hitch place the rubber grommet with the notch in it back into the firewall to make your firewall water/mud tight
Also put the wires back in the wire holder and use the electric tape to make it look oem
Your all set hopefully you did everything right if you did this is your final product [click the link its a video showing the switch in action]

Only catch is after flipping the switch from on to off the lights will not go off until you turn the car off and back on whilst the switch is in the off position if you must turn the traction control back off while driving place the T4R into neutral turn the car off turn it on and place it back in drive.... not sure why it does this not really a big deal my fj didn't do this but hey its cheap and it works ENJOY!
