Fog light switch

Have done a search but not come up with concrete answer.

Fog light switch:

Does it need to be iluminated?

Does it need to have a symbol?

you need a light to show it,s on,must only come on with side lights as well (think the book says headlights....but a lot of production cars it comes on with sides only)

symbol = yes

illumited = no

must have a warning light to show when it's on (i put a little let directly above the switch) and must only work with dip beam headlights on.





built a car, built a home, had a family. lost the family, lost the home, still got the car.

Side lights only ??? What would the point in that ? THink you must mean dipped beam. Side lights are the little bulbs that light up bugger all!

Andy, you have a prem loom, that sorts out when the Fog light can come on, the only issue is whether you need a lit switch to show when it is actually on and blinding people behind

-------------------------------

Are you contradicting yourself here as you say "illumited = no " then "must have a warning light to show when it's on"???

I'm not having a go it's just confusing...or have i missed something?

So basically i need a switch that iluminates when i switch the fog lights on but don't need the symbol?

While your shopping for a switch with an LED on it buy yourself an SVA manual

Or borrow mine
