Review on Iztor 12V Push Button Switch With Dual LED Backlit For Toyota FJ Cruiser, Tacoma And More - Perfect For Your LED LIGHTBAR by James Vilchez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits great in my 2014 2nd gen Tacoma

9/1/20: I installed two of these switches in my 2014 2nd gen Tacoma. They fit perfectly in the extra slots to the left of the steering wheel, and look very nice next to the rest of the switches. I'll give a long technical break down below, but to sum it up breifly, these are solid switches at a good price. They're about as close as you'll get to matching the factory switches in your vehicle. If I have any issues I will update my review.First off: MAKE SURE YOU USE A RELAY. These switches are intended to be installed between the trigger source for a relay and the trigger pin (#86 pin) on a relay. These things are only rated for 3 amps at 12 volts, which is plenty since they're not meant to be wired directly inline to a high-wattage appliance. The coil in relays typically draw less than 0.2 amps when switched on, so these switches are great for controlling relays.Install: Very easy to install. Just take a look at the wiring diagram on product's amazon page and splice the harness wires into the desired wires in your vehicle. I have the line in wired to a fuse tap connected to my highbeams, and the line out connected to the relays that control my front-facing spot lights and light bar. When I have these switches closed I can activate my front auxiliary lights by simply switching on my highbeams.Fit: These switches are about a 90% match to the factory push switches. They slide right in and click firmly in to place. They do stick out just a little farther than the factory fog light switch I have next to them. In my pictures you can see an image containing a side view of the fog light and spot light unpressed, while the light bar switch is pressed in. Their finish is slightly glossier than the fog light switch and the images/letters are a tad whiter so visually they aren't a perfect match (at least in my case) but they are very close. The differences are probably not something you would noticed unless you're looking for them. I am happy with the fit, they're a near perfect match.Lighting: these switches have two (blue?) leds in them, one is an indicator that comes on when the switch is closed and the other is a back light that is intended to be wired to come on with your other dash lights. At least that's what I gathered from the product page. I decided to not connect the yellow and black wires to anything so none of the leds work (as I intended). I already have indicator lights elsewhere in my cab and I don't feel the need to have the switches backlit, so I decided to only wired the green and red wires. I'm sure the leds are fine and work as intended, but if you're like me and don't want any leds to function it's very simple to achieve.

Pros
  • There are LASER ETCHED with 2 LEDs - upper and lower. One LED constant backlit, the other LED ON when set to ON position.Rated at 3Amp 12V, comes with connector wire kit, easy to install.
Cons
  • The switch's high-performance capability may not be necessary for drivers who only need regular usage
