If you’ve ever added ditch lights, a light bar, onboard air, rock lights, or rear scene lighting to your 5th-gen 4Runner, you already know the annoying part: where do you put the switch controller so it doesn’t look like an afterthought?
The OE Panels Factory Replacement Switch Panel for the 2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner replaces the factory panel to the left of the steering wheel with a purpose-built, factory-style piece that lets you flush-mount popular 8-gang switch controllers for a clean, OEM-like finish.
What this 4Runner switch panel actually does
This is a direct interior trim replacement panel designed to give you a “factory-looking” mounting location for your accessory switch controller—no universal brackets, no weird angles, no double-sided tape solutions.
It’s a simple upgrade that makes a big difference the moment you sit in the driver’s seat—especially if you’re building an overland or off-road 4Runner where accessories add up fast.
Compatibility: Switch-Pros, Auxbeam, and more
One of the best parts about this OE Panels replacement is that it’s built around the most common switch systems people actually run.
Compatible switch controllers (per OE Panels listing)
-
Switch-Pros SP9100
-
Auxbeam models listed as compatible: AC800, RA80, AR800, RC800, BA80, RB80, AR820, BB80 (rounded-edge Auxbeam 8-gang styles)

If you’re running a different switch system
The listing includes a helpful sizing guideline: your controller should fall within approximately 2.5" x 4.5" (min) to 2.6" x 4.6" (max).
Fitment: 5th Gen 4Runner (2010–2024)
This panel is sold as a fit for Toyota 4Runner (2010–2024).
Install note: trimming is required
This is the one thing you should know before ordering:
Trimming of the plastic behind the factory panel is REQUIRED (per the product disclaimer).
Why? The OE Panels piece is designed to sit flatter and accommodate the flush-mounted controller, which can require a bit of clearance behind that area of the dash.
Pro tip: Go slow, test-fit often, and keep cuts clean—small adjustments make for a perfect flush fit.
Why is it worth it for most 4Runner builds
1) It looks factory (because it replaces the factory part)
Instead of adding an accessory panel on top of your interior, this becomes part of it—exactly what most 4Runner owners want.
2) It puts controls where they should be
Left of the steering wheel is a natural spot for quick access without reaching across the cab or cluttering your center stack.
3) It supports real-world accessory growth
Most builds don’t stop at “just ditch lights.” Once you add an air compressor, fridge power, rear lighting, or a winch relay control setup, a centralized switch system becomes the cleanest and safest solution.
Ordering options (panel only or bundled)
On the Runnin4Tacos product page, the panel is shown starting at $110, with an option to add a Switch-Pros SP9100 as a variant.
