Default Using OEM foglight switch

I'm sure this has been done/asked about before. I searched the FAQ's and browsed around and didnt find anything.

Is there a DIY for using non OEM fog lights with the OEM fog light switch? OR does anyone at least know where to find info/pics on the oem switch to see if i can make it work. For all i know it could be really easy and as simple as switch a few wires over, but if any of you have done it please share before i somehow waste money on an oem switch because i hate the one i got.

I just used the supplied switch but it fit loosely so i used some 3m moulding tape and put it around the switch and pressed it in and it fit great. It looks good, the tape dosen't show, and it has been installed for about a year and a half now. It was a quick fix that ended up being permanent.

ive been wondering the same thing since the ebay switch gets stuck everytime in the panel. I looked on ebay and found this which looks to be the oem switch.
