Engrishry speaking, What year is your car? if its 92-94 they are NOT fog lights and there will be NO switch. They are cornering lights. They come on with your turn signals to light up the curb so you dont hit it.

Hope this helps.

I know....Just messin with ya bro! Yeah, those arent fog lights. Flip on your turn signal and then look at the one on the side that the signal is flashing on. You will see that the cornering light will be on. Unless, of course, the bulb is out.

They arent fog lights. You would have to rewire them if you want them to light up all at the same time. Be careful though. I had a friend wire them wrong and the first time he used his turn signal he blew his fuse box.....Very expensive mistake!

Im sure there is a thread that explains how to do it on here. Just search around and see what you find.

Good luck!

+1 Do that...

Do the "more expensive" option of trading in your '92-'94 year model for a '95+...LOL!

check out that site. just follow that do-it-yourself for converting your cornering lights to 'fake' fogs so they're on with your parking lights and low beams. fairly simple, just a few common materials to get it working this way.

LOL! I just love how folks around here seem to heavily emphasize on the word "fake" on the DIY foglight modification.
