I want to turn one of these blank spots into a momentary switch. I looked on Aliexpress but could not find one that is meant to go there.

Do you guys have any suggestion on how to get a factory looking switch to replace the left or right blank?

Doesn't the euro ES utilize those blank switches? Maybe you can look there however I'm not positive. GL

I will check out the EU spec ES media photos and see, it's an idea worth investigating!

UPDATE: Sigh, they don't show the whole thing in any photo that I saw.

was just googling to see if I could find and noticed another Lexus model (not sure which) has a very similar looking set that might also work if you strike out with those

Edit, although now that I look at them, they aren't curved quite as much as the ES you've pictured at the top and bottom

Found a high res pic from EU for 2023, they didn't show anything extra.

DaveGS4 has me wondering if another Lexus model uses those identical buttons.... hmmmm...

What year and ES model type (350, 300h, etc.) is the photo for?

My 2019 ES 350 UL has the working switches in a different location for the panoramic VIEW switch - on mine it is located in the far left position and not in the center right position shown in this photo.

I haven't seen a parts break down below the whole multi-switch assembly so finding just one individual switch may not be possible. I did find three "Switch, Switch Assembly Combination" part numbers with varying descriptions of switches (84970-33120, 84970-33130, and 84970-33160) but I don't know whether or not you can disassemble and reassemble the switch assemblies to get a switch combination arrangement to your liking. (The description for 84970-33130 sounds the most promising one to get 3 working switches in one assembly - "Description: With head-up, with surround view. Lane departure switch. ES350. With head-up display. With back monitor. ES250." - but still leaves one with unknowns of connector pin outs and wiring harness compatibilities.)

‘22 300h UL, the switches moved up there for higher spec ES’s for 22 & 23.

No market has all the switches. Max is 3 switches. You can have a combination of AC 100V, 360 and HUD. The other combination is HUD, 360 and Winshield heater.

You've piqued my curiosity. What's the momentary switch?

What I would do is drill a circular hole right in the center of the blank and run your switch out the back. You could use a toggle or a momentary switch that would fasten right onto the piece of plastic. Or, you could use a pushbutton also. GOOD LUCK!

A momentary switch is one where whatever is connected to it activates with one push, turn, or toggle. Usually a button that is pressed once to activate.

LS500Fan

A momentary switch simply allows electricity to pass as long as it’s pressed down, if you let go it turns off automatically.

Is the purpose of this momentary switch something you'd reveal to the gang? That's what I meant.
