installing intermittent wipers, 2005 Tacoma?

Yesterday I read here (I thought) about changing the two speed
windshield wiper switch for the intermittent, variable speed switch. I even
wrote down a part number.... 84652-04141.
Today, with a much sharper mind, I tried to find the group, forum or
blog that had several messages telling just how it was done, and even where
the best price for that new switch could be found.
Bombed! Snookered! Google and I worked for an hour this morning, with
no trace. I am astute enough to be sure and erase my computer "history" each
time I shut down for the night. (hard drive is down to just a few bytes
unoccupied)
Can anyone please help me find the thread about replacing a later model
(Tacoma) two speed windshield switch with the intermittent, variable speed
switch?
I was convinced and ready to start, but thought one more reading with a
little clearer head couldn't hurt.
Thanks in advance,
Old Chief Lynn

And thank you, Mustang67408! That two speed wiper was just driving us
crazy.... living here in Western Washington, where it just barely rains,
about, hmmm.... 30% of the time?

Wow! It really works...... 2005 Tacoma reg cab, bare bones, now has
intermittent winshield wipers! Thanks mustang67408. Actually, I, an
experienced mechanic, took a full half-hour to change to the new switch.
About twelve minutes just looking for the screws to take off the steering
column trim covers. And then about that long figgerin' how to get the blame
things back on without busting something or saying bad words.
Less than a hundred bucks from http://www.1sttoyotaparts.com/ (before
tax and shipping)

Thanks to all,
