Foglight switch broke

I bought some oem type foglights off ebay. I have had them installed about a month and the switch broke. Are the actual oem switches the same? Could I just buy an oem switch from a parts website?

thanks

I'm pretty sure any switch would work man. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

A switch is a switch. OEM or aftermarket...hell, you can use a Nitrous toggle switch if you want! LOL

^^^ hahaha. thanks for the ideas. but I have the stock trim piece that the switch fits in to. I would like for it to stay in that spot. I have the stock harness that it plugs in to. I just need to find the same replacement switch. I will post a picture of it tomorrow.

With my driving lights setup, I used the switch it came with, popped out the OE "empty plate", and dremeled out a square hole from which the switch rests in. Looks "almost" factory.

When I got mine it came with the replacement plate that the mirror controls sit in and a spot beside that for the foglights.
