If you mean the inside switch, you can have it any colour you want i think, i doubt it even has to illuminate TBH, infact i know my dads does'nt.

 

HTH :)

yep the fog light switch must light up...and i wish for some drivers they would fire out an eye piercing dart to remind them to switch off:mad:

:D what he said lol

I agree about the eye-piercing dart, but can it be any colour ?:D
