6th gen fog light switch
Does anyone know where I can get ahold of a 6th gen accord fog light switch? I bought a pair of OEM replica foglights on eBay (I know, it was a gamble). Turns out they're very nice, good quality too, and less than half the price than the real OEM ones. They installed easily and the wiring was a cinch. The only part that sucks is the switch. It's not even the right size for the spot on the dash. So I need a switch. I've tried a bunch of honda parts websites with no luck yet. Any of you vets know of a good site that sells one?

It sucked in my part cause when they installed my alarm they used that empty slot the switch would go into to place the blinking light thing from the alarm. =(
Ill double check in my garage if i still have that OEM switch. If so, its yours.

Well, two things before you consider them. One, they fit the 01-02 accord according (lol) to the description. This is probably true as it took a bit of work to get them in the air dam of my 99. They did require some cutting of sides of the center piece on the air dam which I was VERY reluctant to do. But I don't regret it one bit. They look very nice. Better than the OEM for the 99 IMO. Second, although I'm happy with them now, there's no telling what the future holds. They might be total pieces of crap, die or overheat in the next few months. Like determining reliability of cars, only time will tell. Having said that, here they are:

One more thing, the seller included NO instructions when I received the lights. Fog lights aren't that hard to install for the basic electrician or DIYer, but if you aren't competant in that aspect, the internet might prove useful. Either way, no instructions.
And yes, I got the yellow ones because he was out of stock on the clear. Here's a little trick with colored lights if you're a little turned off by the rice factor. Take the bulb fixture out (don't touch the light of course) and pour a little acetone in the light fixture. That yellow or blue coloring comes right off. I don't know if that means they're low grade or what since the color of the lens is essentially "painted" on the inside rather than the actual glass being colored, but that's the way all the lights I've installed have been. I dericed my neighbors blue lights that way too. Works like a charm.
Anyway, that's my disclaimer. Good luck if you buy them.

use the regular switch it came with and put it under the dash like I did.
It sucked in my part cause when they installed my alarm they used that empty slot the switch would go into to place the blinking light thing from the alarm. =(
Ill double check in my garage if i still have that OEM switch. If so, its yours.
