I am not sure on the switch. Not enough info to tell.

I believe only the switch blank removes, not the whole panel. I personally have not taken apart a 3rd gen.

Cheesus, the Toyota OEM Fog light switch is $46 on Amazon . May you send me a link to a possible generic fog light switch that could work?

I meant the "pull away" part of the picture, not the panel where the switches are - the panel cover that covers all the wires behind it.

So after looking through eBay for the Micturning Switch I posted, it states:
• Upper light is ON when the switch is pressed IN.
• Lower light can be wired to separate dash light circuit.

I guess it's not going to work.

Will these switches be my only option?

No idea with those - There is no wiring diagram showing if the switch is isolated from the light. You need to find one (or contact the seller to verify) where the switch is one set of contacts and the light is isolated on another set of terminals.

Thanks, I think I'll just get both switches and try them out. If they don't work I'll just tap them together with some t-taps and male connectors. Doesn't seem logical to spend 46$ on an oem switch, when the fog light kit is practically the same price.
