This forum has been really beneficial to me over the years so I thought I would post something some folks may find useful. I recently installed an onboard air compressor (knock-off ARB single compressor from Amazon--with added 3-year warranty--still risky!) and the huge ARB-style switch that came with it was going to cramp my style. I couldn't find a plug-and-play switch that would fit in an 80 series blank so I designed a custom switch holder for the Cali Raised "Tall" style switches that are pretty clean and fit with the the 80 series interior well.
Summary: In this post I'll share the process, the the 3D print file if any of you would like to print the switch holder out yourselves, and the wiring crossovers from ARB 5-pin switch > Cali Raised 4-pin.
3D printable STL file download (.STL) - I'm hosting this download on my site. When you click it prompts the download.
If you don't have a 3D printer, there are a number of online sites that will print your part for you. I suggest ordering a few since they can be fragile, and printing in PETG, ABS, ASA, or nylon plastic that can withstand higher temps without warping. I printed in PETG. At the time of writing this one unit printed at Xometry in nylon is quoted at $3.72.
Here's the final result:
This is the huge ARB/ARB style flip switch. The Cali Raised switched and press-style.
Here's the 3D printed part. I quickly sanded the top surface, primed, and painted with Tamiya Matte Black model spray paint.
I cut off the two tabs (circled in red). Due to size limitations, there would not be enough space to maintain the tabs on the switch and on the switch holder since they would intersect. The switch needs to be glued to the 3D printed part. I used a 2-part epoxy.
The ARB switch had 5 pins (2 grounds) and the Cali Raised switch has 4 pins (1 ground). The wire colors are different and I'm not the most confident with wiring. I thought I had it figured out but I asked Perplexity AI to review the wiring diagrams and he provided this handy table-- and it was right!
Here's the switch wired up. I put it in a wiring loom before I shoved it into the dash just to be safe.

| ARB Wires | Cali Raised Wires | Function |
| RED-YEL | GREEN (Pin 1) | 12V constant power in (w/ inline fuse) |
| RED | RED 1 (Pin 2) | Switched output → triggers compressor relay |
| BLU-WHT | RED 2 (Pin 3) | Dash illumination input |
| BLK + BLK-WHT (both) | BLACK (Pin 4) | Ground — combine both into one terminal |
