Factory style/look switch for driving lights
Is there a factory look switch like the ones in a row on the bottom of the center console that I can put in one of the blank spaces I have now that I could use to turn my driving lights on/off?
I don't really want to drill a random hole in the dash or steering column and put a out of place switch there.

Ok, thanks.
I guess I will take it apart and see if I can drill a hole in the blank plate that is there now and still some sort of really thin aftermarket switch or button.

I looked into this in late 06 so its been awhile and I am not sure if it changed. As posted above the switch panel is one unit that doesn't have replaceable switches. I checked with the dealer and they couldn't order me one with the foglight switch unless they had a vin# for a JK with the switch I was looking for in it... So you would need to find a JK with the panel/switch combo you wanted, get the vin, then use the factory fog wiring to wire the lights in or use the circuit as a trigger for a relay. At the time I was doing this, there were no aftermarket panels available. Forward a few years and I ordered up a Daystar panel. It sits below the factory panel and is inexpensive. It works fine with an auto but I have seen complaints from people with manual transmissions bumping the switches..
