Not a electrical specialist, but you might need resistors or a relay if the power going to the dimmer is too much for the switch you're buying. Maybe ask this question on a 12volt forum?

you could try a rocker switch,idk if it will work or not but I would think so,the dimmer switch I would say just regulates the voltage up and down,if you splice a rocker switch in there the rocker switch SHOULD send full power to the the bulbs making it the brightest all the time,may be wrong though,try and see!.I would say the hazard switch shouldn't be a problem.just be sure to fuse them,and pref. from an ignition based source,that way you don't kill your battery leaving something on.best bet would be ebay,or junk yard if you want the factory part,or autozone/advanced/napa should be able to get them new if you decide to go that route.
