Dash Switch Lights

Hello All,

I installed this switch to go with my bumper lights.

Questions:

Where is the best place to tap into dash switch lights?

Is there a way to tie into the headlight reminder chime so I don't leave these on by mistake?

Unrelated but my dash light dimmer hasn't worked for a while. Is this a simple process of replacing the 1-5 wheel rheostat or is it related to the computer?

Thanks

Jefe

 

Can use this.

I've seen mixed reviews on Tacoma world. Also the cali site says only for 3rg gen Tacoma which is wrong.

I've used the below variations, but says out of stock for the (left of steering wheel ~ Cargo light switch)

The cargo switch is the same for 3rd gen Tacoma and 2.5 gen Tundra. I've used the same switch harness for both of my trucks.

 

Thanks for the info, I like the idea of using plugs and harnesses instead of just tapping into wires like I did back in the day.

Any idea on how to get the reminder chime wired into the circuit?

 

Yeah, I'm not a fan of splicing OEM wiring unless I have to.

I'm not sure of the chime. I think you'd notice if they get left on. I've never left any of mine on but I have a habit of turning things off when I turn off the truck.

 

Another advantage over SwitchPro and other switches is the ability to have a monitor that looks at voltage and shuts off if the start battery gets to low (whatever voltage you set it to).
