I was looking at that for my running lights. So far I have not found them with out going through a dealer.

If I understood what you said, basically buy a narrow enough switch and cut the "stock blank filler" to fit the narrow switch in it.
I did this for my running lights and fan switch's on both of my LT's.
Plenty of blank switch positions on them.
