hi punto443
ive checked my rear fog lights and they both work but as you point out there is not a light on the dash or switch to say there on!! but i'm just going to wing it, mine passed the mot no problems recently so i'll just wing it.
if you do sort yours out i'd be interested to no how you did it as i could do mine then but i'm no good with wiring.

I'll let you know how I get on, my mots due ina few weeks

[hillman]

thanks for that
i see reading your post you had problems with the glovebox tops lining up, mine seem to be fine or perhaps i'm not as fussy as you might be, i just like mine so much now and vantuner remapped mine some time ago and it goes like a dream, so i'm happy.
cheers

It's more trying to get hold of the gear selector I was having bother with! But I've got one now, just need to wait on it coming, did you mod your switches to the mk7 or just keep the mk6?

hi punto443
i used all the mk7 switches except for the steering column and the hazard flasher, i also kept my mk6 radio and made a blanking plate for the surround.
I use mine for a campervan and also I do a lot of collecting chaarity stuff so I find it easy to get from front to back without the old floor change gearstick in the way, all my campervan stuff removes in about an hour so I have a van again very quickly.

p.s. I have fitted scorpio seats ages ago as well,nice and comfy.

I done my dash ages ago but never got round to doing the hazard switch (one of them jobs that gets put off) anyone got a wiring diagram on using the new switch???, as far the stalks i have heard someone that's has done it but never got any pics i was just going to cut the stalks at the base and glue them on and solder the wires that run through them for the buttons on end.

i thought would add a comment to this great post as i'm doing my dashboard soon, did anyone manage to sort out the fog light warning light?

[Punto443]

Hi, if you can find one, you can use a cmax light switch, you need one with front and rear fogs, but no auto light function.

There fairly rare to find

Thanks punto.
