howeitsdone Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 So I recently got a rear cargo light and faceplate. Only problem is that is doesn't have a switch. I can get a defroster switch for $17 from eBay but I noticed it was a different rear pinout than the fog & cargo light. To get a fog switch it's at least $40. So I'm wondering if I can buy the defroster switch and re-solder the pins to have it plug in and work with the cargo light connector. Anybody done this or have insight to the inner-workings of the switches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I use a rear defrost switch for my underbody lights. And its on a timed circuit so cuts off after like 10mins. Switch is a switch aslong as the hot goes to hot and neg to chassis it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howeitsdone Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 I agree, but I want to retain factory connections. Left is defrost and right is fog. I'm pretty sure the fog is the same as cargo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Do you have an exsisting cargo light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howeitsdone Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Nope, obviously the harness is ready for it, but I do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
