One is for the factory fog switch, the center one is for the factory scion security, does anyone know what the third one is used for ?? It might have been covered before, but my search found nothing. Sorry if it has.

The factory had an idea for something used in that switch area, or did they??

Its for whatever. Never really seen anything extra in there before. I am using it for my fm module for the dvd player. :D

Like everyone else said, you can use them for whatever but most people put their Cold Cathode lighting switch in the third one, plus remember not everyone has the Scion Security so it could be the second or the third or the first for that matter...:) :wink:

The bB had the headlight fluid button there. With today's lighting, there's no need to prime the headlights, so they removed the button...

I have my JDM foglght switch in one, interior cold cathode lighting in the other, and the last one is the plug. I have a few ideas for the last one, just need to rob a bank first.

Instead of drilling you can get the GardnerBender GSW-45 Rocker switch. It looks as if it belongs! I think they are like $3.75. I use mine for my amp.

That's if you need one switch per opening... He says switches for a reason. :wink:

Oh, I see. That part was unclear to me just by reading his post though.

They are at Lowe's. Here is a link with a pic of the packaging and the rocker installed. The pics at top are the ones I am talking about. Not the one with the red lights on them. http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=446902&highlight=toggle#446902

why would anyone put an alarm led there :? The object of the led is for people to see it as they approach the vehicle..not once they have broken your window :twisted:

look again, people can see it. specially its blinking, they/I can see it. not that I put it there, the alarm installer put it there, which is fine with me instead of drilling hole somewhere.
BTW, can you tell/show me a better place, maybe i might copy it and make use of the middle pop out with other switch.
thanks,

I remember I had a VW with the alarm LED's in the door locks. (The one on the inside on top of the door panel) You could see those a mile away. Might be kinda easy to come up with a mod to put alarm LED's in the door locks.

So I guess no one knows the true pupose of that third knock out. I was just wondering if there was an option or accessory that used it.

Maybe the bB moonroof? Just a guess...

I was actually thinking of replacing the foglight switch with another Lowe's switch since they look like they belong more...

Rockford Fosgate Amp control, Cold C, and my neons. I have the Lowe's switch too on the neons. Great fit and looks factory.
