Foggiest idea

[Frank Elder]

We've had the antenna and pillar switch discussion, so we might as well delve into the night!

Fog lites....Factory or dealer installed option?

If factory where is the standard placement for the switch?

Dealer installed, how many different placements have you found?

I have a set that my Dad had way back when on his 37 chevy. I found ther there was a hole at the left end of the dashboard under the lip that takes a push pull toggle nicely. I believe that the original one were dealer installed and most of the MoPaR logo'ed ones were made by Unity. they had a rotary switch that, clamped unto the lip of the lower dasboard. Like those uiversal rotary heater switches that are on e bay all the time.

Yup, a switch mounted in a bracket that thumb screwed to the bottom of the dash. I took a control panel from the lower dash of a '48 Dodge truck and bolted it to the bottom of the heater/defroster bezel. Gave me a few extra holes to mount things in without drilling.

I'm not sure why they used those rotary switches with fog lights.

Haven't tried my switch.......does it just click once for on or off?

Or, does it have a rheostat like a heater switch?

Could you make the foglights be dimmer or brighter?

Is it a pilot light to indicate the fogs are turned on?

Otherwise, if just on/off it seems any toggle switch would work.

Just a matter of where to put it.

I think the style was the deal here. I believe it was a rotory on/off not a dimmer.

my foglight switch has a light in it. rotary, makes sense.

also....my dad was a ford salesman , new and used, in 1951-65. back then

even whitewall tires were a dealer add on. i remember spotlights were real common additions..they were $6. ! white walls were $3 each extra.

if yu paid by te month for 2 years..it was an extra dollar a month..! some folks couldnt even handle that, my dad used to throw it in for free from his

%. we never made much money!!!

heaters were extra, but in penna. they all came with heaters.

i used to deliver cars for the dealership..one night in west virginia i crashed into a ditch about midnite......i saw a bar open down the copuntry road, and there was strange music playing on the juke box as I went in for help...no one was ther but bartender, he was nice and etc etc..we looked at the record.(music). it had masking tape with e.presley, heartbreak hotel!! on masking tape with a pen!!!damn

Here's what I use for my fog lights and these lights did come stock. The green little lights are my directional lights as my old stock directional signal one did not work. Easy to install and only cost around $15.00 or so. Jon
