Does anyone know of a switch that fits the larger 2.25" removable opening next to the normal headlight switch? Most rocker switches I'm finding are made for a smaller opening, but Honda's obviously used much larger switches. Thanks!

I have searched high and low.
I can not find switches this size.
Someone had a insert that "kinda" fit. It was somewhat loose but held.
Others have drimealed out a hole to fit the carling switches. That looked good.

No cutting necessary. The space next to the headlight switch is a popout, which when removed leaves a rectangle/hole the same size as the rest of the Talon switches, so basically I need a switch that's the same 2.25" as those other switches. Thanks.

I think they May have meant they cut out the blank you removed to fit the smaller switch ...like a dbl plate so to speak...I am looking at the same issue...really want my Warn Factory switch in that spot...be surgical cutting on the back of the blank, but with a lil black rtv, probably sound and doable...ordered this for a possible filler plate to check out before I play operation tho lol
...$7 was worth a try to see if more friendly for install🤷🏼‍♂️

Reading the description of that switch, I learned that I could remove the steering column cover with 4 push pins for easier access to the back side. That would have helped a lot when I installed a toggle switch for my VM. I struggled trying to access the back side with the hood cowl removed.

I ordered this switch adapter from honda sxs also I ordered the wire harness for he sport mode rocker switch and an oem sport mode switch to see if I can make it work for my winch as it is a rocker also and looks the same as the others do. Haven't got any of it yet.
