Default Interior Switches

Does anybody know where to get the same switch that the dealership uses when they install the illumination lighting in the tCs?

oznium sells stock switches I believe. Not sure if they are exactly like the dealers, but they fit perfectly in the slots.

www.oznium.com

I think they're $8.00 and $10.00 for the lighted switches.

they don't sell that same exact switch they use for the factory illumination anywhere but the dealership.... and you'd have to buy the ENTIRE kit to get it.....

it's pointless... just buy another one that works.

they are NOT stock.... if they were stock.. you'd have them in the car already...

nor are they OEM..... but since they look so great and fit perfectly... it pretty much FITS LIKE OEM and LOOKS like it too...

but i assure you.. it's aftermarket.

Yeah i figured they are aftermarket anyways but because i got them at the dealership i consider them stock, but oh well. The only reason why i want those are because i want all of the switches i put in the same. Also, i dont think those other switches are 4 functioned switches

Radio Shack had something very similar to OEM, and it looked like it had the correct dimensions.

Yup, I've seen the same switch at HomeDepot in the electrical section. It is under $5 from what I remember.

Lowe's sells the plain black ones as the Gardner-Bender GSW-45. Home Depot sometimes carried an equivalent. The lighted version is the GSW-49 (red LED). Oznium and Couped sell lighted ones with red, green, or amber lights. Couped also has one (unlit) with a foglight symbol on it. I bought three red LED ones from Amazon.com for less then either of those, but Amazon only had red.
