Accord fog people: Switch light?

Hey guys,

Just wondering, how do you wire up your OEM accord switch so it illuminates?

The indicator itself illuminates if it's on, but the actual switch doesn't illuminate.

Anyone know which wire is used on the switch harness and where to wire it so the switch lights up?

Random but just made this:





Thanks!

Okay, I think we got the solution:

You have to tap into the VSA switch's wire to get the switch to illuminate.

Roger555 is going to send me pictures of what he did within the next days, and I'll probably make a DIY for it.

I believe this is the solution for those who want to try it before Roger55 sends me pics:

#3) Red: Power for switch illumination (wire to pin 3 on VSA switch)
#4) Red/Black: Ground for switch illumiation (wire to pin 2 on VSA switch)
#5) Black: Ground (-)
Basically, you take the red wire on the switch harness and connect it to pin 3 (should be a red wire too)

Then you take the red/black wire on your switch harness and connect it to pin 2 (should be a red/black wire too).

I'd try it out right now, but just waiting on Roger555 with pics to confirm.
