Default foglight lamp and switch install

Any body have any oem lamp/switch install experience? I want to get factory fogs, and don't want a non oem switch/lamp install.

I guess what I need to now is- do I need to buy the oem switch, disassemble the column and install the new switch, remove the facia and install the lights; or is there "a better way?"

Thank you for chastising me; my bad. I used to be on the M5 board, and an e39 is an e39 is an e39. I have a 2010 4 door silver civic, and it's a budget low level base model and has an automatic transmission. I t has grey cloth interior and I don't know what else I need to say.

Now, I'm assuming they all have the same wiring harness from the factory; they all don't have all the switches and fog lights installed. Want fog lights- remove the switch, replace with correct OEM switch. Remove the facia in the bumper install OEM lights and plug an play. Am I right? Thanks for the help!

I don't know about the 2010, but older models typically had different wire harnesses for the base model vs loaded-- so upgrading was often not a simple plug and play because the wires were not there. Look in the front area and see if there are indeed unused plugs for fog lights.
