I ordered pod lights on Amazon today. Now I need a few things to complete the install, I need an OEM style switch that will fit in the blanks to the left of the steering wheel.

The ones that look like this:


Except mine has like 3 of those blank.

I found two sites that have "toyota oem style" switch. But none specify 2013 GX460 or even Prado.

TOYOTA OEM STYLE "DITCH LIGHTS" SWITCH $14.99
https://caliraisedled.com/collection...-lights-switch

CH4X4 Custom Laser-Etched Toyota Push Switches $26.98
https://www.ch4x4.com/product/ch4x4-...push-switches/


I also need the mount, I have only found two and they both seem very overpriced for what they are. Is there cheaper alternatives?

2010-2020 LEXUS GX 460 LOW PROFILE LED DITCH LIGHT MOUNTING BRACKETS $54.99

2010-2019 2ND GEN LEXUS GX460 DITCH LIGHT BRACKETS $84.95
https://www.ragofabrication.com/prod...light-brackets

Amazon has a few from $20-35, for the tacos and T4R's.


Lastly, I would need a wiring harness.
So far I found this one for $10. Except I would like to replace the switch with an OEM style, not sure I could do that.


Any help is appreciated.

Just wanted to share an update with the board, I ordered both sets of mounts and they both will work. However there is a significant difference in the thickness of the material used.

I took some photos to share. The thinner one is the Amazon brackets for the .
The thicker one is the one from caliraised.




Also note the Caliraised would be lower profile when installed.

I remember reading somewhere the taco brackets don’t work on the 460.

Did you figure out your Wiring and switches?

I am having a subwoofer and amp installed soon. I will have the installer take care of the lights the same day.
The amp is a little out of my comfort zone.

so this is for the base audio system, not ML and no speaker upgrade?

To compare a third bracket, this is the Rago engineering. I used a step drill bit to enlarge the hole a bit and used it to mount my ham radio antenna. It's very solid!

My car is the base system. Yes I am upgrading the speakers along with adding the subs.
Here is the list:

Front Doors: JL Audio C2-690tx 6x9
+ Rockford Tweeters
Rear Doors: Pioneers
Dash Speakers: 3.5"

I have two amps going in from JL Audio. 1000 watts each.

I'll do a more detailed post when it's all in.

Wow, those are interesting. Haven't seen anyone with anything like that.

In most states, having lights above the main headlight level is illegal unless they are considered accent lights that are below a specific level of light output (FJ Cruiser as an example). Even if not in use, some states require that they have covers installed with the covers removed only for off-road purpose. I do not worry about such things, but ...

Beyond that, what problem are these trying to solve ?
