Default Funny problem, want to add fog lights, but no place for switch?

Hi All,

Am just new here, and its my first time driving an Accord. I used to have a french car that was fine (Peugeot 206 180), but i wanted a bigger car, so i ended up buying a brand new 2.4 EX Accord 07....

The car came with no front fog lights, and i thought of getting a pair, since it gets pretty foggy in here during winter....

In the installation manual for those lights, Honda says the you will need to mount a switch near the lights regulater, which is located just below, on the left of the steering wheel...The funny thing is that i have all of the 3 switches busy for:
-the light beam regulator,
-the sunroof
-and the VSA on\off button...

Hehe, my question is, where the hell should i install the switch? Or if you guys got a suggestion to make the fog light to switch on simply by swithing on the main front lights?





Installation manual link: (PDF)

Thanks n rgds to all

there must be another place where you can fit this switch. There should be another blank button to fit the fog one.
