Default Foglight switch question.

For a 99 Trans Am, is the foglight switch supposed to light up? Not the right half of the switch that lights up a yellow circle when you turn the lights on, but the left half. I can't find any photos on here of that area with the lights on, just gauge photos.

There is a separate amber indicator light on the headlight switch panel for this. Does that come on for you?

The headlight switch has its own light that I just replaced as it was blown, but that only lights up the face of the headlight switch panel. The foglight switch is completely serperate from that assembly though, like an inch or so below that. It just kinda looks like it should be illuminated, the left side of the switch that is. It just has that little "Light" icon in an indentation that to me, suggests it was lit up at one time. If it was never lit up, it should have been, lol.

Just looked and there is a small dot on the switch that lights up. Search and you'll find some threads on options, if you don't want to buy a new switch: https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...itch-bulb.html

the answer's no, there isnt. if the foglights are off, the switch is completely dark. would be easier to find at night if they put a lighted ring or something around it lol.

Sorry, I missed the details in the OP. The yellow dot is it.

Not sure why one would want this. Unless you are driving grandma style and are driving by looking through the steering wheel, I can't imagine how one could even see the panel. I just use the switches there by feel and look for the yellow dot to tell if they are on/off.
