Bit of a dumb question
« on: 08 May 2008, 15:23 »
Where is the switch for my front fog lights?

Ive only had this car a 7-8 weeks and never needed them but just thought on my drive home from work "where is the fog light switch", had a quick butchers while i was driving and couldnt see nothing to do with fogs?

Just pull out the switch for the main headlights out towards you and that switches the fogs on.

Pull out once for front fogs and then again for the rear fog lights.

A light movement flashes and pulled all the way and let go turns on main beam.

To the right of the steering column, where you turn your sidelights and headlights on and off, the circular switch.

Pull that out towards you once for from fogs and twice for rear fogs.

You should be able to tell just by looking at the front of the car.

The 3 lights within the bumper each side are (starting from the inside) fog light/ blanking panel / indicator.

If you look at mine and mikesters signatures you can see the fogs compared to mat-ryders sig where he hasnt.

He has blanking panel / blanking panel / indicator.
