Question Fog light question - how to turn them on??

Hey, this is the most absurd question i will ever ask on this board; but i swear to you that i cannot find any switch for my fog lights (or what i assume are fog lights, built into my front bumper)... here's a pic of what mine look like (not my car)

Your profile says you have a 93 SC?

Your's are not fogs, they are cornering lights. They come on with the blinker.

I have an SC300 97 and the lights you are pointing to come on with
the headlights. They do not function with the turn signals.

The fog lights on mine are the 2 inner lights, next to headlights.
They have a swicth next to the headlights switch. On the same
stick as the headlights controls.

On the 97-00 SC the lights he pointed out are the fog-lights. The lights next to the headlights are the high-beams. +1 on the switch. Oh! We don't have corner lights. And they come on with the headlights bc you have them switch on.

If you have a 93 and your front end looks like that then it obviously has a front end conversion done. So whoever did it didnt wire up the foglights. Look under there and see if there is any wires coming off of them- im guessing there isnt, so you will have to run wires to the cabin and put a switch in. You might want to take it to a pro to do it cause you need relays and stuff to be safe...

well if thats a front end conversion he also has a 97+ spoiler on the trunk as well......so i'd say thats atleast a 97+ sc400.....plus thats a stock color for a 97+ isnt it? just check to see if ur light bulbs are dead.

Read the OP's post. He said the car in the pic isn't his. His profile says it's a 93. He obviously posted an arbituary picture of an SC and referenced the light.

dear God that took alot of posts to confirm that i'm an noob and don't know the SC's worth a ****... i have only owned mine for a few days... but yeah, mine is a 93 (it may even be a 92...). when i posted that pic (which i mentioned was not of my car) i just assumed it was identical to mine... no conversion on mine; so i guess the conclusion is that that i don't have fog lights, they are just turn signals... so i will stop searching for my fog light switch

thanks guys, i am experiencing a mild transition towards lexus/toyota after having my head and money buried in Hondas for a LONG LONG TIME... i plan on doing a 2jz swap with the help of some very knowlegeable friends. goal will be roughly 600-700whp.

Mark, it's too easy to read...or maybe not (for some). People just like to "skim and post", which is why this forum is starting to annoy me. New members never search, but they sure will post up pics of their stock car in a jiffy! Funny how that works huh?

If people actually READ the original post they'd see there was no need to post anything after your response answered his question. Everything after your post is clutter and probably confused someone.
