Why not replace your switch with an aftermarket one that illuminates? I've bought a couple off ebay and they fit nicely into the existing mounts in the dash

Hi, Good idea.
Is the connections the same or do you have to modify anything
Regards Dave

Dunno as I didn't have any fogs on mine. I've fitted aftermarket ones. The switches take 4 x spade fittings. Easy enough to swap over if not the same. Oh and the switch lights come in red, green and amber. Fit enough gadgets and you can start your own disco

Mazda switches to match the others on the Bongo are available with warning light Cost an arm and a leg from a dealer.

Check out your local scrappy - I got mine from a MK1 Mazda Mx5 but noticed that they were fitted to others - front and rear fog light dash switches - couple of pounds each.
IMO the aftermarket ones do not look right on the dash

Beat me to it I was gonna say visit local scrappie and look at other mazdas, apparently Ring square front fog/spot lamps fit nicely in the bongo gaps, I know Halfords had some a while ago for around £20.00, there is bound to be someone on here who has fitted em. Happy motoring.

Hi,
I went to the local breakers yard and bought 2 Mazda 323 fog light switches for £5.
Fitted a treat in the hole level with the ignition key, wiring there so I hooked my live up to it and it looks good.
Keep the faith

I posted ages ago some information on how to rewire an original Mazda Bongo foglight switch so that it illuminates when the fog light is on.
As fitted they illuminate all the time that the side/mains are on.
I use an original front foglight switch as the rear foglight switch.
