Default What switch did you get with your VRD fogs?

I thought they come with the stock foglight switch pictured here.

But I ended up getting one that turns on green and is lit up all the time. Kinda looks dumb and cheap to me. Def not stock like. Let me know so I know whether to ask them whats up with it.

Well, I thought so. But I got another one. And it looks terrible. It has a tiny picture of a car with foglights coming out the front.

I am going to contact them on it.

Yes. OEM size, with the correct plug in the back.

But it does not have the foglight symbol on it. It has a little car with a set of lights in the front. I tried to google a picture of it but came up with nothing close to what I got.

I would not complain but the graphic of the car is pretty cheesy and looks terrible. I emailed them on it.

oznium.com has some great switches. You could get just a plain switch and throw it in there.

I have 2 plain switches but the foglight plug in is more than 3 wires.

Like I said, I emailed them so I guess Ill see what happens.

I called them today. I am to send this switch back and when they get it, they will send the correct one out.

I know this leaves me without fogs for about a week though which sucks.

But they were quick to help me out I guess.
