I have that exact same switch that I took from my ex-parts car SE-i sedan.

I guess it used to have aftermarket fogs fitted to it but the switch surrounds matches the "expansion" port perfectly. Now, I see alot of these switches. Were they available at the dealer?

I just want to pinpoint their origin.

I have one too. I pulled it out of a honda a couple of years ago at a junk yard in Florida, I never put it in because it came from a blue interior.

I can't remember what type of honda it was.

I have the "cruise control" one too and it looks damn good. I just wanted to know if that ebay switch was realyl a dealer option in America and it seems to be.

I dunno, it looks like the switch is mounted on the stock blank plate. I'd rather have the OEM switch.

Yeah exactly the same! Why do you have the same stuff as me? What DM is yours? Oh and yeah mine gets stuck to. Its illegal to drive with fogs on round here unless its really foggy so i just hit the button with all my might and then we kinda needed a new switch (true):(

no, only a few jdm cars had fixed head lights, although every 1/3 3geez i see has them, and you will be able to see that in the "jdm head lights" thread that you posted in :)
