there is a switch you can buy that is for your year. it goes up by the sunroof, gauge light brightness, and cruise. I recommend losing the second one.

that is out of a fifth gen, but that is what I was talking about.

maybe you can use a 5th gen switch

or cut a hole in your center console.

ive seen pictures of a switch in the tweeter cover on the dash on the drivers side. Maybe this was only an option in japan but when i swapped my tweeters i noticed that the perforation was there on the back of the cover to punch it out to install a switch there. Anyone have a pic of this?

here's a better pic of the tweeter cover.
i'm just going to be using another rear foglight switch (plenty of those here in europe, but not a single one for the front fogs, but hey, it's an OEM switch, so who cares) . that's the switch on the right of the 3 switches in the dash. i'm just going to add one in the middle. you can still buy these switches new, but the prices are way too high IMO: 54$ for the facelift foglight switch (which goes in the dash or center console), and 154$ for the one in the tweetercover

The '92-'93 switch/tweeter combo is next to impossible to find and when they are available, they're expensive as hell. My solution...


Ghetto as hell but works like a charm. The paperclip basically keeps the fogs in the "ON" position and will turn on when you flick your headlights on. Best part about it is that when you have your highbeams on, the fogs stay lit, but that's just my ricer side talking...

I really didn't knew those switches were that rare... I've got one, came with the car when I bought it. Been talking to arisen devil for some time now and know how difficult it is to find a good switch, but not that they were that hard to come by.


Makes me want to sell my switch for some good money (j/k)

yeah, the tweeter-mounted switch and the proprietarty cover are incredibly hard to find. I've got myself the switch, but no special tweeter cover. I'm just planning on cutting into a spare cover to make it work.

It's wrapped nicely in a few layers of electrical tape.

Dig down into the crevice behind the tweeter cover. It will be there, it just hides very well.
