Switch question and ideas needed
I'm installing a foglight grille here in the next couple of weeks and needed to find out where I can get a simple 3 position rocker switch. Any ideas? Also, I've got a problem as to where I can put the switch in my cabin. On the console, the lower right piece is already taken up with the Scion security receiver and on the left I have the switch for my underbody lights. I don't immeadiately see anothe place to put a switch and I'll obviously need one for the fogs. I want a 3 position switch so that I can have either: Fogs on/nothing on/halos on
Any advice is appreciated!

I have installed a number of small toggle switches on the lower lip of my dash to control amp on leads and lighting. You sould be able to get a suitable small switch at a radio shack of a good hardware store. I mounted mine on the lower dash edge near where it meets the center dash extension cover in front of the console., barely visible and in reach when needed.
Gardener-Bender makes switches that are very similar to our style (oem foglight, for example)
couped has them in three-position, but if you look around, you can get them for much cheaper. here's the link:

as for placement, how about the panel to the left of the steering wheel?
I ordered that cery switch from "Couped" in the sponsored sales section. He is also a club member here in Michigan and a nice guy. I ordered one that has a red LED in it so when either the fogs or the halos are on, the LED in the switch comes on. Check him out, he is a good guy.
The "Gardner bender"switch will also fit where the light dimmer is left of the wheel.I just set it where I want it and let it hang behind the dash.unless you dim your dash often.
And where the mirror control is two fit there pretty good I have peep mirrors and didnt need that either.

I have a switch where the traction control button used to be. I never turned it off and it stays on with the stock switch removed. Other than that or the dimmer, you could make a cutout in the console down by the ebrake.
Edit> You could also replace the switch you have with a three position and connect the halos and the underbody lights to the same side.
I am able to get three position switches that are the same size and shape as the gardner benders, but I do not stock them.
