there is currently a toggle switch that could be a suitable place to put a fog lamp switch.
Tom,

The factory installed location for the fog light switch on our 1960 B coupe is just above the cigarette lighter. So your configuration is close (just looks a bit close to the lighter). I posted pictures previously in the thread titled "Fog light switch on a BT5-Coupe"

Regards,

Thanks for that info, Eric. Seems differences in locations depending upon the model and year.

I think you'll find many discussions about the location of the foglight switch.

Yet another topic to be documented by chassis numbers/models of cars with Kardex-verified factory or dealer-installed fog or driving lights.

Since your car is a '59 A, I'd refer back to the supplemental.
