For most of these pictures I used the stock dimmer by accident ....
This mod involves a dimmer switch from an 01-04 Acura RL.
Take your dimmer switch
Remove the bulb
Pesky little shit
Carefully unclip the front face
Repeat on both sides and remove it
Pry up on the retainer and release the wheel
Slide out the circuit board
Now you have to trim the top and bottom
Here's stock for reference
Another angle
Another angle
Other end
Another angle
Another angle
Trim the front face
Top and bottom
Reassemble it
Another angle
Wrap 2 layers of electrical tape so it sits snug in the hole
Press it back in where the fog switch would go
And that's it!
Much better than a sideways lightbulb.
Here's two videos comparing the stock and RL dimmer
The stock one kinda "glides" along whereas the RL one snaps into maximum and has a white stripe.
