Default Fog light switch calibration problem... need help...

so when my foglight switch is in the "ON" position it flickers from on and off and i have to position the switch in the middle just for it to stay on. i'm thinking i just have to buy the whole headlight/foglight control thing. what is that actually called and what do you guys suggest?

It is called the light stalk. Try to get one used. They don't usually fail.

Yes mine went bad. Just the fog light portion of the switch. I had to fiddle with it to get them to stay on. Then they finally would only come on if you pressed the fog light portion toward the steering column. Its a $68 dollar part from Sewell including the Clublexus discount. It was like 4 or 5 screws to get it out including the steering column cover and takes less than 30 min to replace.
