I'll look out for a switch for front fogs and go that rout then, I think there might be a plug there for it so I'm prolly in the same boat regarding the wiring.



The switches I've got just under the vent (left to right) are interior lights, heated mirrors and rear fog lights

The lower switches to the right of the steering wheel (again left to right) are front fog lights, traction control button (doesn't do anything but lights up lol) the big square blank is for headlight adjustment I believe and then it s the mirror ccontrol knob

What you could do though when it comes to fitting your fogs is use a switch in the right place for your fogs and then use a mk4/5 fiesta foglight switch next to it for when you do the driving lights.

Cheers for that, I found this but it's not the right thing...

Will keep my eyes peeled for a front fog switch to go where you have yours.

That's the same as the one I fitted although I did have to cut off the wee tabs on the side to make it fit. That one has been on eBay for a while now, I paid something like £5 plus postage for mine off ebay

Yeh I was getting confused - that would be the same as the other one I spotted.

Having thought it over, I think I'd like to get a front fog switch that would go where that rear interior light switch is - that way I'd have front fogs, heated mirrors, rear fogs. Makes more sense than having them all dotted about the place. Although...why not wire front and rear fogs on same switch?

The problem you may have with getting a switch the same type as the rear fog switch will be getting the little symbol of a fog light as the symbol for front is different to rrears.
I cant see why you couldnt run the front and rears off the same switch but there may be a rule/reg saying they need to be switched seperately, every car and van i've ever owned has had seperate switches for front and rear
