Any maintained dash buttons (not momentary) available for the B7 dash?

Hey guys does anyone know of an OEM dash button that that is not a momentary switch? From what I found online, it looks like the FUNK, rear shade, and Sport buttons are all momentary switches. Anyone know of one that isn't?

so basically you want a SPST switch in a push button format ?

hmmm... most of them will reset with time or ignition off so they set latches, which makes them momentary. finding toggle switches in modern cars is tough . only thing I can think of might be the seat heater , but that's more of a rheostat I think. looking to make a kill switch or something ?

I may be asking for the wrong thing. I need a button that I can use for LED fogs. Id like to be able to hit it once and have them stay on until I hit the button again OR until I turn the ignition off.

Then your easiest bet would be the SPST as you suggest as designing a latch with a relay that resets with igniton off is more work ( not tough but just more work. )
I would suggest a bosch relay so you are not running the primary fog light current through the switch ( although leds may not be that high. )

In Canada at least it is illegal to run fogs unless you have your low beams on and they must turn off with high beams. if you care about that stuff you might want to run off main lights .

Just thought of it, hazard switch? I mean it pushes in like it isn't momentary and stays on although I've never undone the battery and redone it to see if it's just not tied to ignition

Are these fogs aftermarket or just replacement bulbs inside the stock housing? If inside the house there is a cheap and VERY simple way run independent fogs that involves using a Vag and bridging 2 conctions behind the light switch knob
