i believe mines the 115bhp model, if thats right.

Re: Front fog lights not working,

i havent put the bulb in the cluster yet tbh,

i think the switch maybe at fault as when i changed over the switches and put my lights on full. the rear fog light is constantly on. but can be turned on/off when on dipped lights.

need to get hold of another switch now and give it a try
