Default Need help finding a part

I'm trying to locate two parts, I've searched the internet as best I can and have come up empty. The first is the connector for a heated seat switch, I'm told this is off of a 2005 Dodge Ram. The second is the rubber insert for the cubby. I've posted pictures below to show the type of switch and the cubby. Also, would I be able to use these switches to turn after market heaters on and off? Thanks!

You can use them to turn on aftermarket heated seats, if you know what the wires do for the factory switch. Let me see if I can help you find the connectors but the rubber mat is a no go i can tell you they much unless you find it out of another truck

I found the connectors. These are actually momentary switches. My current after market switches are toggle switches with LOW-OFF-HIGH is there a way to convert these to toggle versus momentary? Thanks.

I don't understand the answer? I want to try and use the stock switches but need to convert from momentary to toggle type switch. Is this possible?

They aren't momentary they are toggle switches.

You can't convert switches from momentary to toggle. it's *possible*, but, only if you have the manufacturing facilities...... you aren't going to do it at home.
