1953 fog lights
« on: October 09, 2009, 09:24:24 AM »
Hello everyone,

My 53 coupe has the little marker lights right now and I was thinking of converting it to the larger fog lights. I was wondering about the switch. Right now there is a knob directly under the wiper knob that doesn't seem to do any thing. Is this the switch for the fog lights or is there an extra switch I would have to get? If this is not the fog light switch do you know what it is for? Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Chris

Chris;

Yes, that's the one. However, since your car did not come with the fog light option, there may be no switch there. It may be just a dummy knob. Take a look under the dash and see if the knob is connected to a switch. If there's nothing there, your going to have to get one. I don't have a convertible, but I believe this knob was also used to operate the top. For non convertible cars without the fog light option, this knob had no function.

Thanks for the help! I looked and there is no switch just a dummy knob.
