Default Replacement dash parts?

I recently installed a nice set of fogs. I decided to use an LED rocker switch with them. I drilled out one of the filler "plugs" that snap into the extra slots over by the steering wheel where the sun roof controls are and installed the switch in there. It looks pretty good, however I got a little rough initially removing and snapped off one the the tabs that hold it in firm. It stays in place but is very loose and you can just pull it out with your fingers.

Is there anywhere that I can order a replacement for this? It would be nice to have the switch snap in there nice and tight. It would also be nice to maybe have a spare on hand if I ever decide to sell the car. Could a dealership look this part up and order me one (or two)?

Thanks for the help.

hondapartscheap.com or bkhondaparts.com will have an OEM fog light switch to buy. Tasauto.com may carry it too.

Apologies:

2004 accord ex 4D
2.4l 4 cyl. AT 5A

I'm not looking for the switch. I am looking for the "plugs" (I don't know what else to call them). They go in the slots like where the sunroof switch is by the steering wheel. They fill in the unused slots.

I drilled out one of them for my rocker switch, but broke a tab off. I would like to get two of them. One to put the switch in to replace the one with the broken tab, and another as a spare in case I want to sell the car and take the lights out.

I was going to try a dealership to see if they can order them. I wondered if there was anywhere else I could get them.

Apologies for my lack of descriptive skills.

I am assuming you found a solution, but for others that are interested, I recommend HondaPartsDeals.com.
http://www.hondapartsdeals.com/honda_parts.php

They provide exploded views of all parts and accessories, all body panels, interior panels, etc.

almost every part of a honda is available, floor pans, body metal, cup holders, clips, screws, etc. the exploded diagrams really helped me identify what the part is. of course, you can search by the Honda part number, but who knows that?

the tough part is navigating the list of categories. sometimes it takes me a while to find the exact diagram i need, but totally worth it.
