Yes good find, the ON/OFF/ON maybe what I need for my PIAA 525s.
They are Driving and Fog lights and I have been looking for a 3 way switch that will mount into the extra slots. But I would need to customize a label...
Not sure how fired up I am though to cut off the stock PIAA switch, as it is already wired through my firewall, I would hate to cut off the switch and not be able to attach it to these switches.

Ya I have a set of Piaa 520's. How would you have to wire it with these switches? Would I just need the on/off switch?
BuckyBadger:
Do your Piaa's turn off when you turn the car off? If so how did you do this? I currently have mine wired to the fuse box so they stay on no matter if the car is off or not. I would like to be able to turn them on or off with the switch but I would like them to turn off when the car is turned off. Thanks

Yes, for the 520s you should just need the ON/OFF switch....
I have the 525s which have the driving HI lights and the Ion yellow low beam, so I need the ON/OFF/ON switch....
If you mean power to the lights, I wired them to the Parking lights. The parking lights come on when you turn on the headlights, so yes the power turns on and off with the parking lights. Notice the parking lights are different then the "running lights".
I tapped into this power, so that the PIAAs only get power when my headlights are on. This way I never have to turn them off when the car is off. Also I can control the lights regardless if the hi or low beams are on, which is technicall illegal but I wanted to be able to have hi beems and the PIAAs on at the same time, for up north back road driving.

Looks like the online order form is down for this site, they have a note on the home page saying they are trying to fix ISP issues. I added a couple of switches to the cart but when I went to checkout it says unable to complete at this time.
For $10 I was going to order them and see how they fit the 4R switch holes, based on the photo gkatmar attached of the Taco it should fit fine, but we'll see.

Maybe by then they will have their online ordering fixed.....I emailed them to find out when this would be up, no resonse. The only option is to email them your order and then send a check...come on guys, you can buy a car online, it isn't that hard to get an online shopping cart set up.
Let me know if anyone finds another location to buy these, I have been searching around the internet but haven't found them.

I bought 2 switches from them for my auxiliary lights, but after a week bulbs inside both switches were burned out and one of them start smell as burned plastic. I double check all the wiring; talked to 2 licence electrician (both agreed that those switches were defective). So I gone into Painless Wiring switches which I'm using for more then 8 month without any problem.
My be it's just my experience, but I was unlucky with 4x4mods.
