Switch Panel question....

Theoreticallyspeaking if I purchased the entire switch panel with front and rear toggle switches (from classic mini or ebay).... would I be able to remove the front and rear fog switches with the LEDs and wire them up to something else.

I've been looking for a 3-way switch with LED but can't find any. So I had the idea of the OEM look with the two switches on the panel with LEDs. 1 switch with the green LED would be for my angel eyes (Piaa P9000) and the amber LED switch would be for the driving lamps.

Is this possible? Can it be done?

It's not as simple as you might expect. The toggle switches are low current and one side is connected to 0V.
I've done a harness to use the toggle/LED to control the factory driving lamps - so such is possible but it depends on the design of what you're trying to control, and on how easily you can get access to the signals.

My website has pics of the insides of a switch panel:
