OEM Style Switch for extra lights

My truck has the heated seats, therefore it has the panel with the switches controlling them. The two outside switches are real and the two inside are not. I was wondering if anyone has found a way to either use extra seat heater switches or possible the electronic sway control switch from the Power Wagon to control extra lights. I am hoping for an OEM looking solution.

Thanks

I thought of doing that, but in the end got lazy and just got 3 small switches that would fit that same panel in a clean way.......i have the rear window switch, but no bum burners...so i did

X1 X2 RW R

X1 = Outer Front (Hella Black Magics)
X2 = Inner Front (Hella Black Magics)
RW = stock rear window
R = Reverse lights (Hella $8 Ruberized)

I'm think you could use the the electronic disconnecting sway bar switch. I would think that would be an on off on switch but not sure?

Anyone done this?

I did this with my honda accord years ago. Basically just get a meter and check for continuity across the terminals of the switch until you find which 2 connect when the switch is pressed. Then i soldiered wires to those terminals and added a relay to control the lights......

I haven't actually seen one of the sway bar switches, so I'm not sure if it's like the seat heaters or a rocker switch. Either way, I'm pretty sure I can get it to work.
