Default fog switch in OEM spot...

It took me about 2 1/2 hours, but my fogs are rewired. The best part is, you know how the hazard button is on the left on the center console?, on the opposite side there's a cover for the place an OEM foglight switch would go, I took that cover and cut out an opening for this switch to fit into and put it back on the console. It looks clean now, OEM looking. I know the post is worthless without pics, but when I find a digicam, I'll get a pic up. Has anyone done the same thing? Just wondering.

So you mean you cut a hole on that blank panel to mount the fog light switch? I thought everyone does it that way? Mine is like that (with the alarm LED) and now I am going to wire it up with the OE factory foglight switch, which mounts at the same spot. The wiring is going to be a pain in the butt!

RY2k: well the fogs I bought came with a mounting bracket which the switch fits into. Instead of using it, I cut the same sized slot in the blank panel with a soldering iron and used that(I think a dremel would be better, but this turned out good too), then routed the wire to the switch. There are spots in your firewall which run other wires into the car, use those places to get the foglight wires into.

Blackchrome: yep. well i didn't know thats common b/c I've seen others use the mounting bracket that comes with the fogs which are fugly IMO.

But on a bad note, my eurolite low beam bulb blew today, I would go with another brand but I still have the eurolite highs and they also match my polarg corners. only had for 8-9 months. =( time for 9005 conversion I guess.
