1) from the switch there are 4 wires, but the two reds are spliced together under the plastic flex conduit. So there is no outside red wire and at the end of the spliced together red wire, there is a gray plastic cylidrical connector of some sort. Are we suppose to de-splice the two reds and extend them out for the new steps 6 & 7? And when connecting to pin 3 & 13 we cut the current wires and splice into them (solder the wires together) I assume?

2) Also where would you recommend mounting the switch in a '10 4-door HB? I wanted it in front of the e-brake lever where there are 3 empty spots (there is a door lock switch in one of the four) but the switch is too small and sits too deep.

.... or is there a newer switch with the right wirng and size?

Thanks Guys.

1) You do need to separate all four wires in the fog light harness. For the 3 and 3 connections, you don't need to cut the factory wires. You can either use tap splice connectors or you can strip some insulation off and solder the wires.

2) The switch with its sleeve should actually be a little too big for the knockouts in the center console. You have to shave a bit of the hole to make it fit. I believe that even the OEM Toyota switch requires that to be done.
