Electrical Rear fog Light Install

Rear fog Light Install
So here is the deal:
I have 2006 MC. My car came with only black plastic cover on the rear bumper (for fog light). I found out that on this year MC this was an "option"...
I did not like the black plastic "look", so I ordered original rear fog light to put in... When I installed it, I realized that my car was "wired" under the bumper cover for this light. Plug in connection was already there neatly taped off with the rest of the electrical wires. When I installed the light housing, I just clicked in the original connection to the rear of the housing. Now, of course this is a "dummy" light at this moment...
My question: if I replace my original switch panel (windows/door locks/...) with the one that have switch for rear fog light- will the rear fog light work?
Is that the only thing missing or I have to go in to electrical upgrade as well?
Anybody tried this?

the dealer will charge about $50 to reprogram the body control module to turn on the Fog light. I had this done on my car and my wifes car. now I have Bavarian Technics ($287) and can do these things myself. I figured I have 2 cars and do most of my repairs my self so it was worth the expense
