Default Fog Switch - Replacing Winjet Switch

I installed the Winjet fogs last week. It's nice that the kit came with a fog light switch, but i didn't like it. The green light was far too bright and the button required an extremely firm press, otherwise the button just bounced back and turned my fogs off. I found this on Amazon and installed it. LOVE IT. the button feels good to press, it's not overly bright. The only downside is that the button is black, whereas the oem switch buttons are gray. They have a variety of other switches as well (the dual USB charging one is pretty cool). Anyhow, if anybody has any switch woes, check these out. I got the blue one (comes in white as well). it's plug and play with the Winjet harness.

SpecONE and I had decided to place the switch to the upper most right-hand corner. The green light does not bother at night since my steering wheel is blocking it 99% of the time. Lol.

But, good find tho.

Did you replace the winjet bulb to led? i changed it a couple of times with different led some quad sided and still don't have a decent pattern.

Are you guys noticing a difference with your fogs on? i've also adjusted mine upwards and it really didn't justify the time or cost. i just want a bit more light farther out.
