Part # 84110-17030 can be ordered at the local Toyota Parts department. List price is $110.02. This is an item I wouldn't look for "cheap". There are many Toyota dealerships that advertise online 10-20% discounted pricing. I would go that route...
I am having an issue with the low beams not working. The lights come up and the highbeams and flashers work but for some reason not the low beams. Any ideas?
I figured it out and am leaving this here for anyone that happens to check: you have to pull the switch out and look at the back where it plugs in. There are 2 small, square boards soldered together by 4 pins. You have to pull apart the plastic case at the back I think, this was a while when I first commented so i dont remember perfectly. Then you desolder the 4 pins and pull the one circuit board off. Then you will see several pins soldiered to the other board. You have to use either copper braid (on in my case i used some spare thin wires) to pull the solder off each pin, clean with alcohol, then use flux and resolder each pin. Carefully clean all the flux off with alcohol and q tips when you finish, then resolder the 4 pins back from the other board exactly as it was. Once again clean all flux residue then put it back together and back in the car. I left the two small wires attached. This does not fix the dimmer failing to move but it will restore full functionality to the light switch. I just turned the dimmer to max brightness and left it there to not have to worry about it.
Would you consider the switch to be repairable, since it's a physical crack? Like epoxy it and reinforce it, or does it look like it wouldn't hold any tension after it breaks the first time?
You can fuse it together with epoxy/glue/whatever you choose but the real issue is the degradation of the plastic itself. It will continue to crack. You can hear where I say that you can repair it but it won't last long.

@GVGuardian thank you so much for posting this! I'm having the same issue. Were your dash lights flickering too?

Using a non factory item in this case is not recommended.
