you have to buy the ones that are specific for the 07.. they are on the lever where your head light switch is at it comes with one to replace that whole part so when you order it make sure it's for an 07 or it will have the switch to be in place of the vsa

cant you just punch out another square hole next to the vsa button and but the fog lights button there?

Well if your gonna cut into the interior of the plastic it'll work. But the space in between the VSA and the mirror adjustments is very small and the button is kinda wide.

you cant just cut into the plastic dash. it wont work. the required plastic that the switch needs to "bite" into is much thicker than what the stock dash is made to. thats why they have the little black shroud for the vsa button and the power window switch. the switch will move around. either; A. buy the real switch for our 07 OR B. mount the switch to the roof portion of the coin tray.

here is how mine looks mounted as i described it. looks stealthy y0'
and there is still a good 2.75" inches of gap between the bottom of the switch to the top quarters in the coin tray

you can buy the factory stalk switch for like 70bucks from honda, to fit the 07si coupes.. so you dont have some cheap looking crap in your coin holder.

Which points to another question is the harness the same for the 07 stalk and the button?

good question i havn't seen the harness of the aftermarket ones, but if you would like if someone takes pictures of all the plugs that are on the aftermarket ones, i would be more than willing to take picture of the OEM harness that i got when i bought my OEM fog lights from honda.

i bought the same kit from ebay and have the same issue. I use to have an 03 accord sedan LX and recall that it had a OEM dash pate (where the sunroof buttons were located but the LX didnt have the sunroof.) I went to the dealer and purchased the same part, sure enough, perfect fit, i mounted the switch directly under the coin holder
