Recommended switches for aftermarket accessories

Hey people. Couldn't find a specific reference to any particular switches that anyone has used to install into the empty blank positions at the left lower steering column. I am wanting to hard wire my radar detector and dashcam and want to be able to turn them on or off easily.

I would love to put in an "Eject" switch just for fun.

I've thought of buying another VSA Off switch just to see if it's NO or NC without tearing things apart. 35300-T2A-A01 $9.35 retail If it works, I could put a decal over the symbol.

switches

Here is the link to the switches I installed. They mount in a round hole. I got mine off of Ebay.

Those switches look OK but it would be great to have a switch that matches the holes better and didn't protrude like add-ons. Between Mouser and Digi-key there has to be something!

In the Scion world, there was actually a switch available at Home Despot that fit into the dash perfectly and looked factory!

Does the VSA off switch click when you depress it? If not, I'll bet that it is a NO momentary switch that simply sends a signal to the computer.

IIRC, it clicks and latches into a depressed position.
