Stupid question

Where is the button to turn on the fog lights? Do all models have fog lights, if so I've never been able to turn mine on. I assume they are they are the closest to the center.

not a stupid question, took me a while too

the fog lights will only come on when the headlights are already on.. then you press in the button with the headlamp looking design on it, i do think it is the center one...

Right next to the Cruise button. All US models have them. Yup, they're the closest ones to the center.

i was having trouble remembering.

i don't really use the fogs (which are now "driving lights" with the clear corner mod.

the WRX switch is located pretty much where the SVX one is, and the LGT's fog switch is on the turn signal lever.

That is a strong possiblity, mine were burnt out when i got my svx a few weeks ago, that was the first thing i did. replaced the fog bulbs, kinda a pain, but i have small hands so i managed...

Guess I'm more bored than you are...

P.S. SnowPlow, instead of getting the PIAA Crystal Ions, I'd recomend getting Hella Yellowstars. They may or may not be as yellow, but I got mine for $10 compared to $50+ for the PIAAs. If you wait till I have free time (Monday?) I was planning to do a comparison of the two.

Cool yea I can wait. I'm waiting on some HIR 9011 bulbs for high beam, they were expensive so some cheaper fogs would be good and if they work good.
