Fog Light Button Getting Hot

I almost always use my fog lights at night because it makes it a little easier to spot potholes early enough to avoid them. I have noticed that the button which turns on/off the fog lights gets warm. The first time i noticed it i thought maybe it was from heat coming out of the vents. But the next day after switching the dial from red (hot) to blue (cold), the fog light button was still getting warm. So now that i know i'm not nuts, has anyone else experienced this or heard of this happening?

Its the light behind the button assuming you have stock everything. Ive notice my controls on my wheel get warm after being on for awhile. Nothing to be worried about.

It's just because they're lit... They get warm from the light. It's nothing.

Yeah, they use tiny little incandescent bulbs, and we all know they get hotter than a biotch
