Dead switch replacements

Anyone know which switches fit snug in the dead switch spot next to the vsa button?

Its going to be for an upcoming light project.

Im trying to find a foglight switch that fits in there, I know for a fact there is one that does because Ive seen pics- I think it might be the one that comes with the factory accord foglight kit but Im not 100% on that... If anyone has the part # that would be great.

Go to any Honda dealership- get the 03-05 Accord fog light switch- that's the one that fits perfectly . The one that comes from the non OEM kit for the 03-05 Accord foglights (like one of the eBay kits) fits poorly as it won't lock in the dash panel and tends to pop out easily).

It looks like this:
Lights on:


Lights off:


In the above pic, I moved my VSA switch to the right as it never gets used and used the Accord switch for my DRL lights (the foglights in the same assembly as the main headlights). The part number is:


08V31-SDN-1M035 007 001 FOGLIGHT SWITCH 20.60 14.42 Qty:


(above from http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...5=FOGLIGHT+KIT).

I used the 03 Accord EX-L in the search (same for coupe and 4 door). This is the switch I used.

did you use the oem harness for the switch too to make wiring easier? if so was it number 5 in the diagram

I actually used the harness that came with the eBay Accord light kit and had to separately wire the switch. I found the instructions on one of the Accord forums. I don't recall which one, but I could try to look it up if needed.

Check this:


This is how my lights are wired to the switch
