Very nice. Where did you mount the switch? Any difficulties running wiring into the cabin?

I put a little toggle switch underneath the dash, by the hood release. I didn't like there as it was too difficult to see it at night and turn it off and on. Seemed like a good place at the time. I didn't want to be visible since it was kinda crappy looking. I took it to a local shop a couple of weeks ago and the driving lights are now tied into the OEM fog lights/switch. Real easy to turn the lights off and on. The only draw back is I can't use the fogs by themselves anymore, both the fogs and driving lights come on together. Seems like a good idea now.

What I am still considering doing is between the passenger heated seat switch and the VDC switch, on the lower part of the console, I have a blank space where I could mount a switch. This is the switch I am looking at.

I expect it should fit but need to look into it further.

Behind the brake booster, on the drivers side, there is a wiring harness that runs through the fire wall through a rubber seal into the cabin, not too difficult.

Otratw switches are nice and used extensively by xterra offloading crowd. They are a bit bulky, however, at least for my taste. They don't look factory. What does look factory is Scion switch - http://www.oznium.com/scion-switch-led
I have one and it looks factrory compared to your stock units.
