fog light button placement or hadwire

Firstly, I did search, I promise

The spot next to my outlet where I think most of you guys are putting your fog light switch is taken up with the light for my alarm. Where else might be a good spot? Is it a big deal to tap into the power for the headlamp bulb (not the parking bulb)?

Thanks

Mine is between the cruise control and mirror adjust switches.
I don't have a sunroof so it fits there.

If you have an EX I'd move the alarm light to somewhere nearby and put the switch there.

I'd prefer...

I'd prefer not to move the alarm...

How hard is it to wire these into the headlight harness so they are always on? I guess a person could even just use the "switch" that comes with it, keep it always "on" and find a place to hide it in the engine bay or under the dash.

if it were me, i would just take out the alarm led and put it there. but you don't really need the cruise either. just press it on and stuff it in the dash.

not a perfect fit but it works. there is some gap on the bottom .

pretty sano...

I could live with that install....I'm thinking of just leaving the fog light button on and under the dash though (I'm going to run white fogs and yeah, I know that's pretty much just for looks) as I plan on running them whenever the headlights are on anyway...I just need to splice the power into the power for the headlights, no?
