Default Switch module

Is there a switch module that fits into the open slot in the console behind the cup holder? I have heard that there is a module with two push button switches, one for the hard top defogger on 02 models, that goes into this slot. Is this correct? I have never seen it.

If it exists, can anyone post a photo of it and perhaps a part number.

The owners manual says that this slot is a toll road change slot.....
look in the bottom and you can see the little "arc" shaped bottoms for the coin edges to rest in.

It is installed when you install a hardtop.

On 2002 models the hardtop defrost switch is mounted to the right of the steering wheel on the dash. Same type switch as the cruise control button which is to the left of the steering
wheel on the dash. BE careful with installing anything that is not flush in the slot. If anything sticks out of the slot even a small amount it is very annoying for the elbow area of the shift arm.

Nah you get used to it in no time. I haven't given myself a shower with the headlight washers in ages

Actually, I find the open slot to be annoying to my arm. I'm trying to come up with something to close it and make it flush with the rest of the console but at the same time look oem. I was hoping that the switch module would serve the purpose.

I don't know if it is possible but you could try going to your Honda parts guy and tell him to see if a replacement module can be ordered.

My thought was to possibly use the switch for driving lights if I ever decide to install a pair.

What is the purpose of the other switch? Is it for headlight washers in European models?
