Default What goes here? Right blanking plate next to cluster.

What options go here? I have a 95 and 96 ti, and both have this blanking plate.

Thanks!

That is where the OE fog light switch goes...

Thank you!

Would anyone happen to have a picture of a plate with the switch in place?

This is actually going to be for some useful purpose, not just asking to ask. Thanks!

Edit: while we are at it, what goes in the 3 blanking plates to the left of the dash, below the headlight switch.

The Fog light switch is identical to the headlight switch in appearance (but different in function).

The 3 blank plates are for individually ordered options. In later model cars, one plate is used by the ASC switch (Automatic Stability Control).

The rightmost blank is usually for the ASC switch in later models. I've never seen anything stock in the other two.

In Europe, one of the two gets the headlight range trim control. Here is a panel currently for sale. I have attached a cropped miniature.
