Default Hot Switches!

I had the SS out cruising around last night, and reached up to flash the fog lights at a passing semi and notice the switch was hot to the touch. I turned the fog lights off and the switch cooled down, also notice the same thing on the traction control switch. Will the little light in the switch get that hot or do I have a problem? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

I've had mine get hot enough to burn you to the touch... I think it's just normal.

Alright, thanks for the input. This is the camaro I have owned and didn't know if that was normal or not. Atleast I am not the only one.

Thanks,

The brighter you have the dash illumination turned up the hotter the switch will be.
