Switch for Underglo

i hooked up my under glow and the switch is inside the car and i have it wired so it goes next to the cigarette lighter , but the switch doesnt fill up the whole space so its doesnt work i cant find anything to fill in the blank switch space so the switch is useable. Anyone have any ideas?

you're pretty much screwed. but you can go to a car junkyard and see if they have any of your model car (i assume 01+ civic) and take out the lower dash part that you need and buy it. or better yet i saw on ebay today that they have them, i think i have the thing bookmarked. click here just check that out. if thats not the color you need he has a biege one also. just check his OTHER ITEMS. hope that could help you.

Two words...HOT GLUE. It won't look professional, but hey, it works. It has to work, hot glue is like liquid duct tape.

If I get you correctly, you popped out one of the little rectangles where the OEM fog switch goes and are trying to put it there. If thats the case, position the switch the way you want it, and use duct tape on the back or something for a backing and to hold it in, then fill the gaps in the front with bondo, then you can use a small peice of sand paper and some model paint to finish it off.

The other option is what WhiteRabbit suggested, and hack the OEM fog switch to work.
