Can someone tell me where the switch is for the foggies? Haven't had a chance to have a real good look, just the 15 or so minutes after I got her home.

Edited title to reflect correct year model...

It'll be either on the end of the left column-mounted stalk or in the right vent panel (so driver's side, assuming yours is RHD).

Nope, no luck but yes we are a RHD mob over here. Our left stalk has wipers (front/rear) only. Behind that is steering wheel height adjustment lever (found that out the hard way whilst driving last night kindasad.gif ) On the right stalks I have headlights (parking/high/low beam only) and turns, and the cruise control stuff. In the right vent panel I have nothing besides the vent shutter control, though there seems to be a round blanking panel for where a switch or button would reside. I have some iphone photos i'll upload as soon as I work out how to do it.

ninja edit: there is a toggle switch on the center console next to where the cigarette lighter should be (hmm another thing missing) and it looks like a really old skool dodgy aftermarket switch. I don't know what it does since I don't notice anything turning on and I get no nitro shot tongue.gif I've also checked for continuity in the fog fuse.

I thought 95s didnt come with fogs only 96 up did. I found out my 95 was wired for fogs which was cool, but im not sure if it came with them from the factory lol.


But if im not mistaken you flip you headlight switch one time which toggles your fogs, and/or your blinker lights up front and turn your brake lights on. then you flip that switch again to turn your main lights on.

Correct! Mine wasn't a factory install for foggies and was installed not long after purchase (original receipt is still in the maintenance booklet!!!).

The first switch turns on your parking lights, the second turns on the main lights. It might be different in different countries but I'm sure that in Aus. fog lights must have their own switch. I haven't heard anything about this in years so it may have changed again (and I can't find any online references!).

I've pulled out the shifter boot and centre console surround and had a look at some (really dodgy) wiring that was done. I'm pretty sure I have found the switch (it currently does nothing at all) I just need to find where these wires go. The switch is not labelled at all and has a green and a red wire that seem to go right back behind the console, quite possible through the firewall. It was a bit hard to tell as I was fiddling around with it in the carpark whilst the missus was doing the grocery shopping... The switch itself is quite large - it's a stick/toggle switch that looks kinda like the things you see in Hollywood films where they arm a bomb etc.

I'll have a free weekend soon enough so I'll be able to spend a good solid amount of time sorting out minor crap like this.
