Title: fog light switches
Post by: vauxsull on 20 April 2012, 20:04:51

are these supposed to light up when lights on and illuminate with internal bulbs when pressed?

Mine don't, I would have thought they should though. :-\

Pretty sure mine do.  I'd have to go check before I swear on it though.

the light switch unit does so would have assumed fog switches should too... doesnt take much fumbling around to press them but a little illumination would be good :(

Might get a new one meself too then. It didn't take kindly to LPG switch mounting.
Might be worth a pm to andyc in recommended suppliers.

Just thinking, that if the variable wheel bit lights up (like the heater vents), maybe there's a bulb?

The variable wheel on mine lights up too, but the foglight switches are in a separate module that plugs into the main lighting switch unit.  The bulb will be contained within this.  :y

Does the unit come apart?

The fog switches do illuminate.  There's a bulb and an LED inside the switch housing.  I've seen a how to on here somewhere on how to remove using a couple of credit cards, I'll see if I can find it...

LED illuminates the icons at top of switch body, bulb in centre illuminates lower section via light guides.

Just to clarify, fog light switches illuminate when lights are turned on but don't change when pressed. There are lights in the dash below speedo that indicate when the fog lights are on.
