OEM foglight switch changed......

hey guys whats up, well I order a set of oem foglights and it came with a stock switch but I was wondering if its possible to use a different switch instead of that one. I actually have in mind to use something like this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search
however if it possible to use? if so how would I connect it? thanks for the info guy. Oh and is there maybe a website that any of you know where i can find out how to do this? in case there isnt anyone that knows how to do this. Thank you again.

Of course it's possible, but why the hell would you want to do that? That switch is rice to the max.

^^Actually, the last time I saw a switch like that was on the display board at a Best Buy in Massachusettes that had a whole row of those switches to control various Toucan and APC strobe and neon products such as lighted washer nozzles and light up Honda logos.

well I just want to know if its possible but ANYWAYS! here is an update.......I installed the lights with no problem until I came to the wiring IT was a Fing mess!!!!! me and my pop could not figure it out so we just "mickey moused" it with new wiring and it turned out great! UNTIL!!! Saturday night when I was finished installing the suspension I was backing out of my dads shop he noticed that one of the lights went out! so now Iam stuck with only one foglight working due to a burned out light bulb oh well. I guess this gives me a chance to put some yellow bulbs in there.

Okay, I don't get the mentality on this site sometimes. I was asking about a lighted switch and someone reccomended an aircraft type saftey switch because it looked less 'rice'. Now this guy wants to use one of those and he gets told that that looks rice. Can we get a definitive guide to what's rice and what's not? I mean I know batman stickers, rusted trunks and other atrocities are rice, but how in the gorramn verse can a switch be rice to one and nice to another?

Oh, I kinda like the non translucent aircraft switches but they are expensive unless you find a good source. Expect to pay around 20 bucks or more per switch for lighted ones.

^^who the hell cares man not really interested in his opinion of whats rice or not just as long as it looks ok to me and I think it does. so yeah I didnt even use the oem switch so its just sitting there I ended up using a switch with a little red light at the end of it the only problem is that this little LED is on all the time and I thought there might be some problems with my battery but so far its all good.
