I ordered the scion OEM rocker switch from Oznium and it is a perfect fit, I think the switch you show will require some modification to look good.

I have one of those down in the center console, near the aux input jack. I installed it in the little popout that isn't used. You have to drill the hole out to fit . It came out clean on mine , just take your time. I used the scion oem rocker switch under the oven to turn on and off the cathodes. The round one turns on and off my led's and superfa door locks.

Have an xB? Try one of these...fits right into the knockouts, no modding.

Gardner & Bender switch. P/n GSW-45 only $3.99 @ Lowes.

See my profile for pics.

I used those switches from Lowes, installed LEDs in the back of them and drilled little (1/16") holes in the rocker part....lighted switches...........cool

That is a great idea!!!

I wish I could see a pic of that. You should do a tech write-up on that one.

I might have to go out to Lowes and get another one just to try my hand at that mod !!!

My son had my digital camera at the skate park the day before I did them and it got ripped off, or I would've done a write up with pics. If I can borrow one I'll post pics of them installed. pretty easy mod.

Thanks surfcitylocal! I was running late and did not have time to find and upload my pic.

Heres mine, also shows the Stinger SVMB LED Voltmeter modded into the switch bezel. Thanks to scionlife members "jallamas" for the p/ns and "superfreestyle" for the idea!

Pics look great...how do you get to the knockouts? I've had the center trim piece off to swap HUs but I didn't see an easy access to knockouts. Thanks.

Default switches

you can use the smaller toggle switch make sure it is rated at least 30 amps. its a little bit bigger than the mini toggle switch.

and you can put twice as many (6) in total in the same place.

hope this helps

that was kinda off-topic, but seeing as the original question was answered beyond any shadow of doubt...

to get to the knockouts, pull out the glove box. to do this, move the box to the open position and pull up. you can then reach back inside, and pop out the knockouts.

I'm sure there are other ways, but that's the 'official' one

does anyone know if the lowe's gardner bender gsw-45 is a on-off, or a on-off-on switch? oznium sells both versions, and I need a on-off-on, so I hope lowe's sells that one

Can you provide any more details, like a part number, or a place you know that has these smaller toggle switches?
