What I did is to buy a socket and bulb that fit (with some trimming) into the existing foglite housing. I then ran a hot wire from the LEFT-HAND license plate light (that one is the easier of the two) and connected it up to one terminal of the new socket. Then, I ran a ground wire from the other terminal on the new socket , thru the entire car, then to one terminal of a switch , and grounded the other terminal of the same switch. I mounted the switch (fits perfectly) in the middle of the three blanks on the console.
In operation, when you flip the switch, it completes the ground, and the lite comes on. It only has power when the lights are on.
BUT.....YES, you are correct about the hassle of running a wire thru the entire car. That was the hardest part.
