Description

In the last few years, I wanted to install my rocker switches to be part of the factory insert look, cutting it out by hand just wasn't as good. Now that I have a 3d printer, it made it all possible and, in any configuration, possible. This one is where the cargo light and 4x4 switch is located, mine is a non 4x4. I printed mine a little different. I have also included a solid piece. as well as a 3-rocker switch.

The dimensions are very close if not accurate, the last 2 pictures compare the genuine part verses the printed part. The Blank insert is designed by BiscuitsOnTheFloor, I got it from here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2202388

This is still a work in progress, as I have not yet tried to insert it in my dash yet. I will be working on another insert later on, which is the one below it.

*UPDATE: 7/3/25* Added a file for a flat surface with cargo insert in the middle, *Insert for cargo switch flat surface Rev B*

*UPDATE: 5/5/25* Revised the pieces to the correct dimensions and removed the unwanted tabs. Also added a novelty piece

If you have any requests for a different configuration, send me a message and I will make one for you
