Default switches on center console (emergency, etc)

So my center console has several switches, 2 or 3 which are being used, 1 I know is my emergency flashers. Then they're are several blank plates. Im wondering where I can pick up a switch, as I have a set of piaa lights I want to wire up and have the switch there rather than drilling a hole and putting some cheap toggle switch somewhere

the PIAA's are supposed to be bright as hell, auxilary lights, rather than daily driving lights, otherwise I could just hardwire them in

Had my console out this weekend looking add switches in the same place. The switch holder has a wired backing and the new switches plug into them. This leads to a plug in the back. I was afraid to drill thru this to add what I wanted so I went another route. Just a heads up.

Do you know if you can buy the plug from the factory and just utilize the wires from that plug for his lights? I also thought about wiring new buttons there so I can look stock yet have my mods in there.

Check parts listings for 2500, 3500, and 4500 ----- you just may find the switch you are looking for.

I dont know why my link didnt work, but yea i found 2 switches, one for heated seats, but they want something like 60-70 bucks for the switch. A little much if you ask me. But thats been my only luck
