Fog light switch lights

[Dalek]

Can someone tell me how to check the bulbs behind the two foglight switches on the dash?

 

[bessieblue]

Im not sure but i dont think there is a light behind the fog switches

 

[g8jka]

There aren't any bulbs behind the switches for the fog lights

There aren't any.

Edit: The lads beat me to it ....

Well that is an easy job done then!

You could always DIY a retrofit ....

Sorry but I don’t agree with the above, there is a light behind the fog light decals, it is permanently on and therefore fails quite quickly.

Neither of my zeds have it Brian i have had the dash sections off of both maybe only fitted to high spec models

Yep, you are all right, I was getting mixed up with the headlight switch, the fog lights do lot have any illumination doh!

don't remember ever seeing any lights on these especially as the switches are out of view.
You are not mixing it up with the main light switch which has a bulb for the legend underneath?

I asked a while back seems they don't light up a bad design not lighting up trying to find on a dark road is a pain fumberling around trying to find them.

The original owner of my car told me the foglamps didn't work. Turns out he didn't know where the switch was. From the driver's seat the switch is completely hidden, at least from my driving positon.

Also, my US-spec 2000 has only one switch, for the front fogs. I assume the other is for a rear fog? Does the rear illuminate only one side, or both for the fogs?

You are right. The second switch is for the rear fog light which is on one side only.
(Now someone will tell me it should be both sides adding another job to the ‘to do’ list!)

They are on both sides on mine but that may not apply to all. The offside is the legal requirement.

I have had various VWs and Audis over the years with none, one or both rear fogs. On my MK4 GTI I had to modify the headlamp switch to activate the rear fog, then only add a bulb to the rear holder. My Touareg 3 doesn't have the bulb holder in the rear bumper as in the Euro version, only a dummy reflector. Crazy US specs!

Would love to have a rear fog in the Z3 but looks like a tall order to add a switch.

I have no idea as I never used them.
