2 empty switch locations next to defroster?

In the console between the 2 seats, to the left of the defroster switch, there are 2 empty slots. Are these empty on all FDs, or is my car missing certain options?

I was thinking of just getting another defroster or other switch from Mazda and sticking it in there to turn my fans on and off. Has anyone done this?

Screw the headlight sprayer ... how about an I/C sprayer?

Hmm OK cool. Anyone know how much a switch to go in there costs from Mazda? Where is the best place to buy little misc parts like that anyway? I know when I had my DSM there were a few certain dealers who had the best prices and we used to order parts from them. Even with shipping it was way cheaper than your average dealer. Is there one like that for Mazda, or do I just go down to my closest mazda dealer? Thanks!!

I believe I paid 35-40 bucks for a new fog switch from the dealer.

I don't know the part #, but iirc, it is a $70 switch.

Yikes, that's an expensive switch. What about a junkyard or finding one from a parts car? I guess that might be the way to go. Seems like you could get it for $10 or $20 tops no? Anyone know of any good sites/shops etc that have lots of parts cars?
