Default Honda OEM foglights

I have installed my foglight kit, but I need the Honda OEM switch. I see lots of EP3/DC5 owners stating that they have to use the OEM Honda switch, but no one has said where to get it. I can't find a part number for just the switch as it only comes with the foglight kit. Does anyone have the part number for the 04-05 Si foglight switch? I haven't called Honda yet to see if it is available (I will call tomorrow), but I can't find it on any online parts lists. Thanks!

Ok, called two dealers today and was told that the switch is unavailable without buying a new kit. Now I know I have seen posts with RSX owners buying just the switch. My question is what is the part number for the RSX switch (in black) and is it the same size/shape as the EP3's switch hole? Does anyone know a direct Honda number to call to find just the switch or any other ideas? Thanks.

Do a little research and look at any of the online Honda parts lists/diagrams and figure out if the switch has its own part number. Many times the guy behind the parts counter doesn't have the time to look in-depth (especially if you phone in) or the knowledge.

If anyone has an OEM EP3 foglight switch, I can PayPal money for it. I am desperate at this point. I don't want an ugly aftermarket toggle switch or anything.

Use the FS/wanted thread.

Did you do any research yet to see if you can order one on its own?

I have checked everywhere I know to look. The WTB/FS thread, ebay, various online JDM sites, and called the Honda dealer. The dealer even told me that it was unavailable without the whole kit and to go to RadioShack and make a switch. The switch is defintely elusive. It has to be a 5 pin and fit the hole in the dash. The Ridgeline has a foglight switch separate from the kit as does the 01-05 base Civics, and the Ridgeline's switch is 5 pin, but it comes in either warm grey or dark grey, so it won't work. The Civic's switch is 6 pin, so it won't work. I don't know if the RSX switch will work - how many pins does it have? It is becoming impossible to find an OEM switch. I have been told that the Cruise switch is exactly the same as the foglight switch, so I could order one of those, but then I would have two Cruise switches which = ugly.
