After reading and replying to this thread, driving back in the dark tonight, I re-checked my fog lights... The back ones have an Amber warning light on the dash, but there is no light for the front ones... I wonder how that works, bearing in mind they are the factory fit ones.

So, should I have one, and if so, where is it...

Normally their is a light, bulb in the switch could of gone, mine lights up green iirc

My troll is the same, factory fit fogs but only has a warning light for the rear one, not the fronts.

I wondered if something was up but on checking the manual, it seems Nissan never provided a dash light for the front fogs. :nenau

All my Volvo's have had a green light, like the reverse of the amber rear one, only the wavy line were straight, rather than angled down.

our Meriva does, it lights up like this, but its a 61 reg, so maybe the laws have changed since the Terrano and y61 trolls were made:nenau

ref front tell tale, been saying this for years as was case on my mk2 t2

but think something was on on mk4 other day as was toying with using them as DRL
as frankly are poorest front fogs ever used on both trucks, not helped by being
as high as dipped/main lamps, somewhere under bumper height would be better, in fact
like the mk1 r20 t2/mav had as options....

sure tell tales wemt back years, when fitted 'em to my mk2 escort, under bumper
naturally had a switch that light when in use, also neat if lights with dash to help find
it in dark, perhaps dimmer or different colour.

My old MK1 terrano had an illuminated front fog light switch
Could it be that the Nissan grill lights aren't actually fog lights :nenau
Front fogs on my Merc are illuminated also the Focus and the Toyota

oh deep! so on fog switch but not fogs. dunno my mk 4 was minus handbook but think
does give tell tale. oddly can have front only or front and rear, but not rear only, all
subject to atleast side lights on.

My front fogs on my t2 x reg year 2000 is on the indicator stalk and the tell tell light is on the dash lights up green when on.

In relation to the other lights, where is it? Maybe my bulb has just gone.

Yes down by rear fog tell tell but lazy ferret ur dash might be diff my fuel and temp gauges go side by side not up and down if that makes sense

 

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

correction looks like Ryans image but lights up as green symbol,

is to right of dash, right side of speedo, then rear comes on as yellow
beneath it.
