Rocker Switches Compatibility - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So I'm prepping to do my ledstrip headlight mod in the next week or so...and I realized I still need a rocker switch for the independent mod. I dropped by my dealership and found out that they don't carry the switches itself...they directed me to a Napa Auto Parts but they only had those toggle switches that you have end up drilling through the panel...and I just want it to fit without drilling.

So I found this...they had one without the LED option but I guess a couple of dollars wouldn't hurt...

Doesn't say much about the Corolla but I notice a Matrix in there...

Anyone know if it'll fit? if its a little oversized I'm sure it won't protrude too much

that should fit the switch panel on the center console where the aux port is but it won't directly fit the switch panel on the left side where the mirror switch is.

Well I guess I could just locate the switch there then...but care to elaborate on how the fitting might be as an estimate? would it be too narrow maybe? as long as I can somehow get it to fit

the switches in the center are for the old style toyota switch which is tall and narrow. the switch panel on the side are for new style toyota switches which are short and wide.

I remember a member saying that he bought rocker switches on here:

Those switches are cheaper on Oznium.com. I believe you need to shave down the hole a bit to make this switch fit. I just cut a small hole in one of the blank plates and installed a switch from auto zone, though I would have liked a more OEM looking one like the scion switch.

lol by like a dollar or 2 for me because it has to be USPS for my area lol...

I might just take a chance with this and grab it...I measured the area and it seems like it's just about the right size .830" x 1.450"

I'll go ahead and grab this and update you guys on how it is...

btw...can anyone point me in the direction of the DIY that tells you how to get into the plate area on the left side?
