Using defrost or Hazard lamp as fog light switch

Is it possible to use the Hazard Lamp swithc or the defrost swtich for a foglight switch? I need to find a donor parts car if possible.

the hazard switch should work fine(with a relay of course), but i'm pretty sure the defrost has a built in timing circuit that you wouldn't want to use for lights.

i tried it. there was a post on it about 2 weeks ago on this particular forum or on the general one for sentras posted by me. got some help from someone on the wiring. after fooling around with it a little i ditched the idea. ended up taking the open plastic insert out by the cruise switch and slapping a nice auto zone switch in it then popped that in the open spot next to the hazard switch, and just snagged another plastic insert from the junkyard to slap in the hole by the cruise switch. doing it this way gives a flatter spot for the switch to mount to, and also made it so the switch didnt stick out past the hazard switch/defrost switch/and blank insert to the right of the defrost switch.
