installing intermittent wipers, 2005 Tacoma?

Question

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

Actually, I, anexperienced mechanic, took a full half-hour to change to the new switch.About twelve minutes just looking for the screws to take off the steeringcolumn trim covers. And then about that long figgerin' how to get the blamethings back on without busting something or saying bad words.     Less than a hundred bucks from  (beforetax and shipping)Thanks to all,Old Chief Lynn
