I came across some pics of a 2008 Accord with factory installed LED footwell lighting with a switch located next to VSA switch. I'm wondering if this switch can be ordered and fit the button console in the A/C where the VSA switch is.....??? I have attached a pic of the switch and the lights.....if this can be ordered from a Honda dealer and installed in the A/C that would be quite a clean looking install!!!

Any thoughts or input fellas??

Isn't VSA only on 3.5 models? I know I don't have those buttons anywhere in my car..

What is VSA? Is that something on the Honda Accords? On my car, I have a VDC button, and if there's no VDC, then there's the TCS button.

Next to my VDC button is an empty space... I could have mounted my switch there and it would have still been a vey clean install, however, I have my blinking LED from my alarm mounted there! In any case, its still a good idea IMO! All you need is a switch like this

Yah its the same crap, VDC/VSA, you know different companies just use different names for the same function....I wasn't sure since I don't have any of those options....(would it have killed them to atleast put TCS!!! )

But do you think the buttons are the same size?? Looks like a standard size to me, that's why I thought it would be a nice idea....

if i'm not mistaken canada just issued a new law that all theses VDC/TCS/ETC and what not had to standardized into one term known as VSA. but i could be wrong
