Anyone want to donate their fog light switch

I am looking to activate the rear fog lights and don't want to buy the Euro switch. If anyone has bought the Euro switch and still has the original switch I would love to have it.

I keep thinking of doing this, but I'm concerned about creating rattles from loosening the trim. My car has been rattle-free for 35K miles. Valid concern? Or just an excuse for being lazy?

excuse to be lazy. I did this using parts from a friends old switch works great no rattles. It was a little difficult to muster the courage to yank the trim off though.

Never mind on the piece, just did it with a pen cap and a nickel. Did not even have to glue the pen cap tot he nickel, it fits in the piece snug between the cap and the two nubs on the circuit board!!! I will report back on rattles but I shook the light switch box before I put it back in the car pretty hard and did not hear a thing

So, it cost you five cents more to do the mod than anyone else.
