For those of you who may be curious about how to use those two-button Euro switches that you see pop up for sale, or who want to add a rear foglight, I've written a brief description of the procedure I used.

I will be updating it near the end of the month with more details about the instrument cluster portion, where you swap out the existing indicator for one with the rear foglight symbol on it.

The file is hosted here, at http://m42club.com/writeups/lighting/rear_fogs_final_051109.pdf. It is a .pdf file, so you will need Acrobat Reader to view it.

Any questions, feel free to ask!

I'll reply to my own thread here...

I've confirmed that the PCB (printed circuit board) for the instrument cluster on my car supports the rear fog light indicator lamp. So, all you have to do is put a bulb in the right spot and apply power to the pin I circled in step 19 and your rear fog lamp indicator will function.

I'll rewrite the instructions at some point in the near future with the appropriate steps and, if I can find it, the part number for the electrical connector to use.
