Default sc300 foglight question

This sounds like such a stupid question, but i have never figured out how to turn on my foglights. I cannot seem to find a switch anywhere, and unfortunately have no owners manual. If anyone has a pic of where the switch is located, please let me know. None of my friends can figure it out either, its so odd. its a '93 if that matters.

isn't there a difference between lights? like the 95 and up are foglights, the 94 and below corner lamps? i thought i read that somewhere.

i turn my foglights on by turning the switch on the light stalk.

Turn your headlights on, then turn your driver side turn signal on and get out to see if it comes on.

They won't fit, they are a different shape.

The 95-96 foglights ARE plug and play (and are actually foglights that use an H3 bulb), you just need to wire them up so that they turn on. Not hard.

yeh i guess mine just dont work as turn signals either. oh well, i still have headlight turnsignals so im straight. ill worry about all the electronics in a few weeks. (power tilt doesnt work, power mirrors dont work, lower turn signals) rather than start a new thread, anyone with a gte swap have problems with the water temp sensor and speedometer being off, and if so, how much is it off by?

to help with all this can you juss post the year of your vehicle.
also,what type of bulbs did you use?
check your fuses inside the car behind the drivers side kick panel
