Default Fog light on/off indicator

It was a revision for 2007 and newer models. It was in addition to the headlight on indicator that you already have on your dash. All Lexus guages with Electroluminescence aka Optitron have this. This way you can tell if you have your lights on or off without having to actually step outside the car.

ROFL

If you can't tell the fogs are on then I think you need new fog bulbs lol

Call me lazy but if I wanna know my fogs are on or not, I don't walk out of my car, I flick the fog light switch

It is a green headlamp shaped indicator with "beams" pointed downward. Kinda like a high beam indicator, but a different color, and beams pointed in the opposite direction.

I want the indicator! More indicators are COOL.

I really wouldn't mind it, but I don't need it. Since I leave my fogs on all the time.

I believe in reading past threads, it's possible to swap with the '07s. Find lobuxracer's posts. You need the gauges and the ECM? I don't know, not sure.
