Rear wiper conversion?

I had to replace my wiper switch with one from a GXL, so it has an extra button for the rear wiper. My car does not have the rear wiper (and I don't plan on ever adding it, I like the smooth look). I hate adding switches and stuff like that, so I was trying to think of another option. I have some fog lights I want to wire up. Anyone know if it would be possible to wire the fog lights into the existing rear wiper switch?

And I've already looked at the FSM.



I've never been able to read these very well. I'm hoping someone can help me make sense of it.

yea, it shouldn't be a problem. I dont know specifics but the rear switch is just on/off. Depending on application, you might wire in a relay. I actually just swapped a wiperless hatch in my turbo. I want to be able to use it as well... when i get home, i will post my findings. Sorry, im not much help, i'm not so good at the diagrams either.

Well I've never actually used the switch, but it seems to have 2 settings. And yes, I do plan on using a relay. I don't want to run any extra voltage through the switch if I don't have to. I've already burned up two.
