my SR5 was used and original owner drilled hole in dash for light switch when several switch blanks were available. it annoys me so much. I bought a TRD emblem off ebay but its way too small to cover hole.

You could always buy a replacement panel if it really bothers you...

$144 for a new panel! plus shipping im sure and maybe a wait. yeah ill probably just get some grommet

Why not just put another switch in the hole?

It doesn't even need to be wired up to anything, or add a voltage meter, there are lots of possibilities.

Round USB port

How about a round dual USB port charger .. like those that replace a cigarette lighter ?? I used one in my Sequoia and don't have to mess with the plug in adapters any more. Readily available on Amazon. The hole looks like it might be about the right size.

It appears your annoyance doesn't reach the $144 threshold...

No junkyards in your part of the world?

You can never have to many USB ports.

OP, measure the hole and tell me the dimensions. I have one of those massive plastic plug kits and I can send you a few plugs for free. If nothing else it'll fill it in nearly flush and be much less noticeable. But if it really bothers you that much then there's no way around simply replacing the panel with a new one.

Put a red button in there with a label that says "Caution - Do Not Push".

Lmao, I'm glad you said it so I don't get jumped on.

Overland patch

Or something along those lines to just cover it. Cheap, easy and reversible.
