bump. i'm looking for exactly the same thing, i can make the rear fog light come on when I hold the button in. I've pulled the switch out and cleaned the exposed contacts, but I've been struggling to get it open. any tips?

Too simple to need a guide! Couple of small screwdrivers to hold the tabs back at the base and slide the two halves apart. Keep it knobs upwards and nothing will fall/spring out.

thanks brian. those tabs just won't budge... i've got two on each side at the base. None of them move to allow the case to open.
