The wires are probably already under the dash for the switch. I believe all T6s have the wires alrady in the center wire harness. The end could be up over the glove box and the other end at the fuse box area.

P.S. - I moved your post to the Main discussion. The Q&A forum is for questions specific to the site. Good luck!

There’s a lot of info on the wiring of the fog light switch.

I think if you Google the topic, Roy Lock (RIP) found the supplemental for installing the switch.

Jerry,

I presume your car is a T6? the above bulletins which describe the switch mounted to the left of the ignition switch are for T5 cars. The T6 switch position is to the right of the clock in the center of the dash I believe.

I think the location right of the clock is for the C models. On earlier cars, maybe the T-5's, it was left of the ignition switch but on the T-6's, it is above the ignition switch so it doesn't interfer with a sunroof switch to the left.

I have a sunroof switch on my car to activate the electric fuel pump primer so my fog light switch is above the ignition switch.

George:

Was the switch factory installed or added after?
