they would need to be separate switches.

What are you trying to switch?

What are you trying to switch?

1 will be the switch from the wiring diagram in the other thread for the 2 inner lights & then as Dean said abut the panels I thought about the possibility of moving my rear fog light switch to the same panel.

On second thoughts tho I looked at the dimensions of the those rocker switches & they are Huge 26x50mm they are a bit big & clunky for my Liking. i'm going to look into other options when my Boss leaves his desk behind me & I can view the website properly.

you could use a rotor switch with multiple positions

1 would be sides
2 would be mains with high low selected from the stalk

I dont see any real point of the other switch in your circuit diagram

that just leaves the fog light. I might be able to locate a rotary switch with a pull switch incorperated. the pull switch would operate your fogas and a warning LED fitted beloow would show when they were on. This in my opinion would look much neater

***EDIT***

Looking at your circuit description again i thonk the addition of that switch could cause problems with the MOT as if they test the lights without that switch closed only the outer lights would work. MOT states all lights fitted must work. I know this is nitt picking but some MOT guys can be a little strange

Ok, I agree that would be nicer. But...

Dows this involve replacing the stock Headlight switch (Not the hi-beam on the stalk)

My concern is that this involves the internal Dash Lighting circuits as well...
I didn't know how to deal with this so went with my design in the other thread.

(This really should be in the other thread!)

Thats fine, i'd just close the switch when I took it in for the test. + if it turns out anything like last year's test i'll be sat in the car turning everything on & off!

thats just another position on the rotary switch mate, let me and titsy have a proper look at the weekend for you and formulate a plan of attack

Sweet

Edit:

Oh BTW the stock headlight switch is also a dimmer for the internal Lights.

Pull to turn headlights on
Twist to adjust internal Light brightness.

JWR is 20.90 + vat.

so all out about £24 then..

i seriously doubt its worth importing, especialy as i can collect from JWR when it arrives (they are 0.3 miles from where i work)

It's just "venting" on to the floor - no biggie, just irritating having to fill her up after every journey.

Somethings not right there, it should only vent when it's getting very hot.

Is the cap knackered? It should hold a decent amount of pressure before needing to vent.

It's supposed to run with a header tank. Normally it'd just flow into the tank when hot and draw back in when cold.

No tank, p"sses on the floor.
