Description
Want to install that new light bar but don’t want to drill into your dash? These switches allow you to utilize the stock blank location with a toggle switch in either 2 position (ON/OFF) or 3 position (ON/OFF/ON).
*2 Position would be a simple on/off switch, the 3 position would be ideal for lights like the Diode Dynamics with backlit feature or other lights with dual outputs.
Designed specifically to fit the following Subaru models:
2017+ Impreza
2018+ Crosstrek
2015+ Outback
2015+ Legacy
2019+ Ascent
2019+ Forester
These switches do require some modification to the rear of the switch panel but consist of no more than cutting a small notch and drilling in a screw. If you would like more information please message me and I can provide any additional details!

Q&A
How does this mount to my vehicle?
Most our switches are designed to clip into the existing lock mechanism. The switches are designed to be a snug fit so there is no wiggle or play, when installing make sure you have it aligned correctly to the pocket.
Type 1 is the only switch that requires modifications due to design limitations. There is a template provided to cut out the plastic (use a razor blade to cut this out) and then once secured into the pocket a small screw (provided) is drilled in from either side to secure to the existing plastic.
How do I remove the old switch or blank for install?
Easy! You can use a trim removal tool or small flat head screw driver to get under the clip and allow the lock to unclip. Do this for top and bottom to completely remove the existing switch or blank.
What harnesses is this compatible with?
Our switches are considered universal, most harnesses will have 3 wires running one for Power, Ground and Control. With the toggle style switches you only need Power and Control. If you are running a 2 position switch these go to either tab. If you are running a 3 position switch and are running a 4 wire harness you’ll need to identify which is Power, Main output and Secondary output (assuming this is a lamp/pod with either High/Low or output with a backlit function). This will allow you to have one output active at a time or the switch in the center for off.
Do I need a wire harness and is a relay necessary?
A wire harness isn’t necessary as many can be easily made at home if you have basic wiring skills. A relay is suggested for anything that pulls mild to significant power. Our switches can only handle 5A of power which is typically enough for basic rock lights or the backlit feature on small pods.
What is a relay?
A relay is essentially an electronic switch. Where power for your device can run through the relay the large amp draw doesn’t need to extend into the cabin and back decreasing performance. The Switching side only requires a small amount of power to control the switch which is exactly what our 3D printed switches are for. When in doubt its always better to run a relay harness as it puts less stress on your harness, our switch and more direct power to the lights.

Purchased these in the 2 and 3 pin versions for my ‘ 21 Crosstrek. Came in fast and installation was quick. They fit in perfectly in the assigned slots and look like they’re OEM. Can’t be happier. Thanks for making these!
