Swap out the inside pieces of the switch... I know the only difference in an ASR (momentary) switch and a Foglight (toggle) switch) are the shape of a piece of metal that the switch rocks on inside the housing.

Easiest way to do it would be to get:

Trans-Am ASR Switch Panel

Trans-Am ASR Switch

Camaro Foglight

Then you just switch the loose (unattached) metal plate inside each switch (the toggle switch is straight, the momentary switch has a curve... or vice versa, I don't remember) and you're good to go !

Or you could do what I did, buy a sheet of plexiglas, cut it to your needs, then paint it black. It's pretty inexpensive, just takes time to cut it to the right size.

Do you have traction control on the car? If not I could sell you an extra foglight switch with wiring harness I have and you could use that for the Halos and mount it right next to the factory foglight switch...

I paid $40 shipped (again, it INCLUDES the harness) and ended up not using it. It's yours (or anyone else's) for $30 shipped if interested...
