If I remember right, the switch costs about $12 at honda. I picked one up, and have it so It controls the power to my inverter/ps2. I played with the damn swith with a multimeter for about 2 hours figuring out which terminals were for what. I covered up the little foglight symbol, and didnt use the dimmer terminals. Just a hot wire, ground, and accessory. the other 2 are for the dimmer.

I went down and grabbed the switch, which I wred, but havet yet installed. I picked up terminals at pep boys, I think they were for a ford, that fit on the terminals on the back of the switch perfectly. The top terminal is the ground, 2nd down is the hot wire, and the 3rd is the accessory. The bottom 2 are for the dimmer.

What is the "accessory" terminal for? What wire do you lead to it? Is that the terminal that leads to whatever needs to be powered (i.e. the fog lights)?

you can take off the panel and then take a dremel and make a square hole or circular hole in the panel and push any switch through it.

Yeah, I was going to do that originally, but opted to just get the stock switch for the fog light and use that instead. Only becuz all of the switches at Radio SHAFT were ugly as hell.

anyone know the answers to my questions re: the stock switch?

Like JonHsiung, I like to use blanks and put my own switches in. I found some really cool aluminum colored toggles with red L.E.D.'s in the end.
