Canada Looking for a Fog Light Switch

I purchased one of the JDM type fog light kits off ebay but the switch in the kit sits out of the dash too far. It is a push button switch but is not recessed into the mounting. The wife has already banged her knee on it so that is not good!

Does anyone here know where I can get a flush mount dash fog light switch?
I have done a bunch of searches and just cannot find a North American source as the shipping from off shore is way to much for my budget!

Something like this is what I am looking for [IMG]http://i.ebayimg.com/01/!BTIyjV!BGk~$(KGrH****j8EjlLmVnm)BKG2JmKjTQ~~_1.JP G[/IMG]

BTW this is a great forum

I installed my fog light kit which I purchased from ebay with glass amber lenses.

I got the switch that looks like yours

I have yet to install it as it is big and bulky

I notice that if you look at the rear of the plastic lower trim where the gas release and eco button are, there is a third outline on the rear of the plastic in the canadian models.

It appears that was designed for a third additional item but never installed.

Last week I was driving my brothers 2003 H2 hummer and noted that the fog light switch is about 1" square has a on indicator light and has the label indicating it is a fog light switch.

This switch protrudes about 1/8" from the surface is surface mountable and all you do to mount it is drill about a 3/8" hole and tightening it from the rear.

It appears to be a standard aftermarket switch and would easily fit in the location next to the eco switch making it look factory installed.

If you pull off the lower trim plate below the steering wheel after unscrewing the two screws you will see the outline for the switch on the rear of the trim plate

Still Looking

I noticed the one on Ebay but that switch is in Thailand
15-20 Day delivery
Not sure I want to have a single switch travel that far
Was hoping to find something with the pigtail in tack as well
Any thoughts????
