I see the guy with the lights--and those are some lights--has them routed
through an extra defrost switch.

FWIW: BusDepot.com sells the VW fog light switch for the swink blank int he
dash board for about $30 from what I see on the website.

part #   ZVW123251

The rocker switch has three setting and if wired as according to specs  its
postions are
one: off
two: front fog lights on
three: front fog lights and rear fog light on

It can of course be used to turn on and off driving lights as opposed to  fog
lights if you choose--(or I suppose even a 12 volt coffee maker if you  wire
it as such. You decide).

And for those who don't know, I believe the rear fog light is one extra
bright tail light bulb fitted into the original tail light configuration to help
keep you from getting rear ended in the fog.

All this to the best of my knowledge. This is how the fog light swith I
purchased years ago operates. I'm assuming the swith the BusDepot is selling is
the same one. Please check before you purchase on my word.

But it does exactly match the other dash switches in my 83 Vanagon. (did  the
appearance of the dash switches change somewhat or slightly for later model
Vanagons--I forget?)

I'm not affiliated with the BusDepot or VW. VW is a trademark of...
