Fog light switches

[Tracy Dee]

Hi all.
Just wondered if anyone can help if they know.
The 2 switches for the front and rear fog lights, are the buttons meant to illuminate at night when lights are on. I only ask as last week I need extra front light and found it hard finding the buttons in pitch black.

No tracy i had all lower dash out at one point no the surround has no bulb fitment on mine anyway. Only wired for switch operation.
Maybe someone will come on say something different and I'll have to find out what's wrong with mine as well

I don't think ours did in our Z3 either

Mine dont light up

I find them tricky to locate - probably because I seldom use the fog lights - I think I have had them on once in 4 years - no illuminated switch on mine.

Mine didn't either.

No, I agree, no illumination on mine either.

They don't light up and the headlight adjuster doesn't light up too.

They don't light up and the headlight adjuster doesn't light up too.

A bit of penny pinching to the overall spec

I'm not so sure really, you have to remember that technology has move on quite a lot over the ensuing 20 years !!

I know but switch illumination available on a 1980's ford escort so surely an omission then by bmw in my opinion

Thanks for all your replies it looks like no fault which is all good.
But strange they don't.
