Default Fog Light Switch Help

Alright all, I really need some help here!

I have purchased a pair of fog lights off of ebay, and have had some major issues with my installation. Please, I really need some help with this, as since my car is currently in pieces.

Alright, I have the lights in, and the wiring coming in through the grommet on the passenger side and through behind the glove box and underneath my steering column. Now, my switch is designed to fit on the LEFT side of my steering column, over by my moonroof control, cruise control switch, and power mirror control (This is right above the coin drawer). As you can see, with a switch designed to fit in by the cruise control etc switches, I will not have space. I have bought two sets of lights off of eBay, both containing the exact same problematic switch. So - this switch only fits inside of the slots left of the steering column, however I need to get on that fits in the middle accessory panel by the 12v adapter, which is right above the cup holders and below the head unit area. Please, if anyone can tell me where to find the switch that fits into this middle panel and NOT on the left of the steering column, I would really appreciate it.

I have a 2003 Civic EX 2DR without side SRS. Automatic Transmission.

PS~ I feel that I may need a new switch and a new switch harness(the last of the set of 3 wires that gives power to the switch and the lights, and connects to the fuse box under the steering column.

Really, I need some help here guys, I appreciate it!

they only come with that one switch......you could make your own, or just wire them to your regular lights so when they come on, so do the fogs....
i have DX so i had plenty of empty space for my fog light switch in my 95.

I see what you mean about the one switch. I spoke to pro-civic about the whole situation, and they've stated that they send out a set of adapter brackets with their fog lights so that they fit into all spots. Anyone have any idea how I might be able to come up with just the adapter?

If all else fails, I'll do the wiring manually, but I was hoping to find a solution other than that. [:@]
