What does this switch do?

Post by bongo frenzee » Thu Jul 15, 2010 7:16 pm

Anyone know what this is for?

Pic isn't great but it's a small round rocker switch with a red LED. The light comes on but nothing else seems to happen. I suspect it was added by the previous owner but does anyone have anything similar?

It's probably your rear fog light~switch it on & go round the back.

As the others have said - rear fog light - it'll probably only come on tho when you've got you headlights on (well that's how mine works anyways) :D

By law thats how they are supposed to work. Its an MOT failure if the fog light can come on without the side lights already being on.

Yep, rear fog light! The rectangular switch above it does the front ones and I assumed it did the rear one as well, but no. Thanks for en"light"ening me! :D
