Wrong rear fog fog switch

Probably two years or so I bought the switch to enable the rear fog light. I never got around to install it, but mow that I plan on shipping my car to Europe I decided to finally install. I was completely bummed out when I realized I bought the wrong switch. As you can see in the pictures it does not have the auto light function, which I could live with I guess. But, the pins on the back are reversed and do not line up with the holes in the dash, so it's 100% impossible to install the switch.

Can anyone tell me what model the switch I bought is actually for?

I wish I could remember where I bought it from, but I really can't say. Might have been Tischer.

Extremely frustrating as I now have a switch I have zero use for, and now need to find one that actually fits.

Switch over the fog button onto your original switch

Worked like a charm! Again, thanks.

Now I need to figure out what to do with the spare switch I have.

Of course it works lol. There's a DIY to make rear foglights work without buying the euro switch. It's nice to have the button that lights up though. Glad I could help

I was aware of the DIY, but I wanted the switch with the symbol. Especially as it's mandatory in Europe, and my car needs to pass a thorough inspection once it gets there.
