A couple of the switches you have will be a pain to get to work correctly. Such as the first one that is for the rear window defroster. That one has a timer that if I am not mistaken only stays on for about 4 or 5 mins. I has a timer in the switch. The second one is for the rear window wiper and sprayer. Which is a two position switch. The first position is wipers on the second position is spray and temp. on. The last one you have pictured will be the easiest to hook up since it's for the factory fog lights. If you don't mind spending a few bucks you can get some switches that look OEM. Here is the link for them. Hope this help you out.

Now those are some great looking switches. And they are even cheaper even though you have to buy the rocker and the switch body separately. The thing I want to know is will they fit in to the stock slots?

That sucks! They would look pretty good in the stock area.

I have a life. Some of us have just been here a while


Dont really understand why you are wanting to replace those switches. Why not just get a new panel WITHOUT those switches and cut holes for aftermarket switches..
