Default Fog light location question

Hello there dear ti mates.

I bought a 318ti from a friend of mine. There are fog lights down there but no wiring and switch. I asked my friend he said that he got fog lights from junk yard to replace blanks but never wired them up.
Can anyone provide picture how does your stock switch looks like on panel?
I found lots of stuff on ebay, but still curious how does stock look in car.

Would really appreciate it.

Its kind of a pain and expensive for that foglight switch. You can find a switch in ebay for a good deal.

Here you go. You can see it on the right side of the instrument cluster - directly opposite the headlight switch.

Installing the oem fog light switch is a pain. Much easier and cheaper) to go to Radio Shack and get an led switch and mount it on the lower dash by the right knee of the driver. Wiring the flog lights isn't hard, and I believe that there is a tutorial with pictures and diagrams in the Knowledge Base section of this site. Good luck. John

there is an easier way to wire in the switch.. just use a headlight switch from a Ti or an E30. Grab the connector to the wiring harness while you are there and wire it in.
