Anyone know a store or part number for a switch like this size but in toggle instead of momentary. I went to radio shack and picked up a momentary but I need a toggle version too. The staff was not knowledgeable at all and I didn't see one in their stock. I've tried Home Depot. Pep boys. Discount auto parts. Radio shack. No one has one this small.

Nicely done. Was just thinking about those wasted buttons the other day!

Radio shack should have them you just have to dig thru the drawers. all the radio shacks in my area closed down so i can no longer go there and look. you could think about using the Hazard switch and running a hidden toggle somewhere for the hazards or look thru a junk yard for another switch panel and see if you can figure out a way to remove just the hazard piece from the the panel you find

either of these look like they would work, they both say they have an on off function. not sure of the size or if they would work , its hard to say without having them in hand
