Nope a light on the dash turns on, only the front has an illuminating switch, good old Subaru continuity

i took my whole dash out and apart only to find there is no front fog light indicator in the binacle (I thought the bulb may have gone) *grumble

Yep mine doesn't work either. This is right up there with the "bright" switch phenomenon

Yes, newgae front and rear fog light buttons should illuminate when the headlights are on. When you press the button on another light should illuminate telling you that that particular auxiliary is on.

My dads illuminating light has gone and he asked Subaru, who said that the parts (bulb) are no longer available from Subaru. They are going to look at what type of bulb it is and my dad is going to see if he can find the bulb online.

use bulb bt43 (12v wire lamp) from maplins £1.09 each.each switch uses 2.
1 for backlight ,1 for switch on light.
takes a few mins to fit once the switch is out.
job done.
also for referanc its the same bulb for the head light hight adjusting switch.

As above. DO ensure you do the job inside, over a worksurface or a large shhet of white paer, small parts ARE involved.
you need a pair of tweezers and some small sidecutters, or sharp small scissors. Takes about 5 minutes, though, that's all.

How strange, I noticed a few nights ago that my rear foglight switch doesn't illuminate!
Must be a common problem!
