the blank button is out of fluid. that's why it's stuck. There's a reservoir in the engine bay that is near the firewall on the driver's side. Open it up and put in some Redline Button Fluid (RBF) or Honda Button Fluid in there. You can also use water. Make sure it's filled to the top, if it is already, just pour more water. You can get RBF or MBF at the dealership or any Autozone, Kragen, etc...

it's okay, many forget about this. I always keep myself stocked up on button fluid. that and muffler bearings. mine always go out on me. must be the roaring loudness blasting thru 20 blocks of residential neighborhood.

damn you guys are cruel, but in a humorous way

but to answer your question, if the car did not come with fog lights you will not have a button, you can just purchase them at the dealer ($$$) or find a used one somewhere like ebay or the junkyard
