Default Foglight switch alternative

For those of you who bought a foglight kit and it does not have a interior switch with it. take out ur defroster switch and plug it up to the foglight harness.. it works

I live in Mass, we get snow and ice too. So what do you do to thaw the ice off your rear window? Or do you spend 10 minutes every morning trying to scrape all that **** off? I'd rather have functioning defrosters, and spend $15 dollars and get the OEM fog switch from majestic honda than rewire my dash so some stuff works and others dont.

Well thats kind of vague. If you had said you had a spare defrost switch that you placed in the OEM foglight location, it would have made sense. But even I have a defrost switch, and a fog switch if I so chose, so I just assuemd you meant you switched the wires.
