Review on MICTUNING Backlit LED Light BAR Symbol Push Button - Toyota ON-Off Switch - White, 1.28 x 0.87 inches by Chris Budenski

It fits perfectly so I order two white

I found this by luck. A colleague accidentally received this switch. He needed a derailleur for his 2009 4Runner. I tried the orange switch to see if it would fit my 2016 Runner TEP. It fits perfectly so I order two white ones. The switch is not as durable as the OEM switch. What I noticed is that the switch doesn't activate the light unless you press the switch roughly halfway. When you push it up or down, the switch doesn't click, so the light doesn't turn on. This problem does not occur with an OEM switch. White is actually brighter than orange so doesn't quite match OEM brightness, but that's okay. I was hoping the seller had other badge configurations (ie reverse lights, DPDT options too). Don't know how reliable, so time can answer it. Definitely not bad for the price compared to the OTRATTW switch which costs about three times as much. Update 12 March 2017, top LED off. For me it was exactly a month. I contacted the seller on Saturday and got a response that they would send me a replacement. That's excellent customer service. I figured out why the switches don't snap when you click them. The switches don't fit exactly, so free play can't hold the switches securely in place. I inserted a plastic wedge to make it fit snugly against the switches. It's still not 100% perfect, which means you still have to click in the middle, not anywhere on the button. Update 12/3/17, I bought Air On Board Switches because they had a 50% discount on Black Friday. The switches are much better than MicTuning. They don't come apart easily and fit perfectly. No sticky or sticky switches when you press them. No Mickey Mouse if you need to make sure MicTuning doesn't get stuck by not installing it completely. I highly recommend using the Air On Board switch instead.
