tip: you can use hot glue to add a layer of insulation to keep the resistor from touching the switch. Its up to you

Not a bad fix, but a new OEM switch is only 14$ and a far better choice for most everyone without any electronics experience.

Where do you buy your OEM switches from? I would have bought one if I knew it was that much because I bought my fog switch from Acura for ~$30 since they do not sell the switches seperately
