Switch recommendations?
I'm looking for a switch to wire up my puddle lights so they can be set to always be on and always be off. I can't find any good switches that would fit in the blanks next to the VSA on my TSX.
Requirements:
1) Must be three-way, a normal toggle wont work for my wiring, can either be an up/down toggle or rotary
2) Would prefer to have a male connector on the back so the wires don't need to be soldered on
Anyone have suggestions on where to find a switch like that?

The Shack does sell a pretty good 3-way switch that would work for you here. It looks just like the 2-way toggle that several people installed for the Dom's unit, but its a 3-way with center being the neutral position. It will fit well inside a 'vsa area' blank. I saw it right next to the 2-way I picked up when I did my Dom's.

here's a writeup on my switch install
took out a blank switch plate after trying the switch panel out. I measured the switch I was putting in and cut it out (rather poorly). painted the switch plate and pushed the switch into the hole. the switch is a little off center, and isn't quite flush against the plate because the place is curved. overall it came out satisfactory
