Ok, so I am really digging the new 4th gen Camaro I picked up ad noticed something in the interior I was hoping someone may have some insight on.

I swapped out the factory radio with a new one (it had a cassette and I don't even own a cassette so I plugged in the CD version) and noticed when I removed the trim panel it had 2 switches at the top. One is for the fog lights which it has, but the other one is just a dummy blank even though it has wiring up to it for the ASR.

What I was thinking was picking up another OEM fog light switch and wiring up some footwell lights. Has anyone ever done this and can the fog light switch be wired to use to turn them on/off? I don't want to use if I can an aftermarket switch for this blank would be the perfect place. TIA!

i have an 2001 3.8V6 Camaro with European specifications (Regulations):
- Seats with adjustable headrests (Firebird seats)
- Rear Foglights
- Side blinkers
- km/h instead of miles/h

because of the extra foglights in the rear bumper, there is an extra switch on the center console, the button on the right was a dummy, so i put in there the light of the alarm.

Ah, so that's what's behind the CAMARO plate. Didn't know that either
