Camskill does a rear fog light switch not sure about block connector though.

this is for the front foglight though

mivecmad, you should check the wattage of your foglight bulbs.

I see

mivecmad, you should check the wattage of your foglight bulbs.

And the size of the fuse supplying them!

[colm_mcm]

fuse isn't likely to be a factor here. it's a common enough problem on the FTO, it's unusual in that there's no relay for the fogs, that's the 12v feed going straight to the lights.

[gary d]

Might be worthwhile retrofitting a relay to feed the fogs as obviously the switch aint up to the job. Last thing you want is your pride an joy to go up in smoke

[colm_mcm]

As far as I know it's only a problem if you have higher wattage bulbs.

Not true - this is a common issue with standard setup bulbs.

There are threads here that describe how to introduce a relay into the circuit which avoids this issue. I have done this myself - works a treat and no need to purchase any more expensive switches.

suppose it depends on how much fog you're likely to encounter

[mivecmad27]

Had planned to relay it as I am getting hids for the fogs also but tryin to find a new switch is turning out to be quite challenging

I prob have a sw somewhere, will look later today and let you know
