this doesn't say HOW to modify the switch itself.

is it just a case of changing the button part of a hazard switch then doing the wiring mod in the guide? i plugged a hazard switch into my rear heated window wiring and switched it on and the window seemed to work (abit difficult to tell in the middle???? of summer though)

So you just change the cover over on another hazard switch?
Edit: Yes you do! just checked it.

well,... im not sure this thread is going to go down too well with the mods, as this was a little source of income for the zone. 
but in the spirit of free enterprise,.. so its a hazard lamp switch, and u changee the cover with a rear demist switch?
