newage rear fog switch illumination
 

to all newage owners. does your rear fog light switch illuminate ? just noticed that mine doesnt. tried a new switch and still no illumination. but they operate the actual rear fog just fine, :wonder:

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

so ive wasted time and money on a problem that never really existed. is that what you are telling me. :mad::mad::mad::mad: :D

dan

Quite possibly yes :( 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 :D

:thumb:

can anyone else please confirm this for me please

dan

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

the switch should be backlit green...well it is on my bugeye.
i used a bulb from maplins.
can send the ref.number later if u want?

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!

Sorry Dan i think i misunderstood the first question! I had no idea that my foglight switch should illuminate! will explore further...

i got a job lot of BT43's from maplins today (i like to have spare bulbs), so im gonna replace the bulb and see what happens. fingers crossed. will update with the news.

thanks all.

Anyone know what the bulb is for the hazard switch?

HT04, How do you get to the bulb? does the switch pop off or do you have to get at it from behind?

I just thought thats how they were! Strange, i'll check my Bug and all.
