Thanks to Patrick who really came through with the switch!
The part arrived today in the mail and after about 10 minutes I had the switch installed. Everything still works as before but still no rear fogs
Seems I'm back to square one.

BAH!! Exactly the opposite, I am a fog light nazi like Iceman, maybe worse. I get VERY angry when drivers run their fogs 24/7. 
I use my rear fogs on my RR to flash drivers that follow to closely and or run their fogs for no reason, it works great, they are VERY bright. The rear fogs get them back off and sometimes actually turn their fogs off. I am also considering HID fogs for the specific purpose of using them to flash oncoming drivers when they are running their fogs for no apparent reason.

They look like brake lights but they're meant to be used in poor visibility (rain, snow, fog) to keep other drivers from rear ending you.
