Default The three switch knock outs??

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??

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...

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.

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. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...=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:
