Title: Fog Lights....
Post by: thebaldeagle on 23 January 2012, 19:21:07
Daft questions possibly...
Ive owned quite a few Vauxhalls  and when ever the front or rear fog lamps have been switched on there is always some sort of illumination on the dash to show that you have 1 or the other on... :)
BUT...was out in the miggy before and didn't realise the front fogs were on because there is no illumination on the dash?  :-[...is it just our car or should we have some sort of symbol on the dash to tell us otherwise?

These will do, either 1.2W or 2.0W

Suggest you buy a couple of those . . .

I recently fitted a set of front fogs to my 2.0 GLS, and finished the job off with the indicator bulb in the dash.

The front fog indicator light is at about 7 o'clock in the speedo dial  when you're driving. I managed to wreck the first bulb I put in by turning the thing the wrong way. It's very obvious which way it goes in if you have a quick squint inside the hole before stuffing the bulb in.  :D

Was just reading this and realised that on my omega when I turn on lights only displays light up, there is no indicator light to say that they are on but other indicator lights come on for fogs and main. Is this normal.

There's no tell tale on the dash to say you have lights on if that's what you mean. Confirmation is if you can seen where you're going when it's dark.  ;) ;) ;) ;)
