Do UK/Euro cars have an illuminated fog light switch?
Hi all,

Just asking if UK or Euro cars have an illuminated fog light switch or is it a light that comes on, on the dash?

Reason I ask, is I have a JDM car which has a foglight switch (originally for front fogs I'd guess) which is being used for my added rear fog. Trouble is, it doesn't light up so won't pass the MOT here.

If UK cars have an illuminated switch reckon I could get a new one from Toyota and just swop it with my existing one and voila, sorted!

Cheers.

You won´t pass the MOT because of a freakin switch not lighting up? Banging head

I also have a foglicht switch and it doesn´t light up... But i have no fog lights up front and added nothing in the rear Dumb question

Shouldn´t the car have a rear foglight in stock?

Man, i just ran down to my garage and...... yes, the foglicht switch (for the rear fog lights) is illuminated.

I forgot that it is only illuminated if you switch the light on. Banging head

I have been and ordered a UK type foglight switch that illuminates from Toyota today. A steal at £36+VAT(!).

Still ought to be able to sell the front foglight switch (that doesn't illuminate) that's sitting in the dash at the moment.

I know, stupid money and that's plus VAT. Sad

But, I'll only buy one once, I need it for my MOT. I think it's this kind of detail that makes all the difference though, as it'll be OEM.
