I have:

Put in the 2 fuses in 29 and 30 (even swapped over with spares incase they were faulty)
Put in K8 relay.

Changed dash switch

Dropped the connector from behind down to the back of fogs.

Started up the engine, turned on all the swtiches (both buttons in) and pulled the main lights on main beam, dipped and high but neither fog goes on. The fog light does come on under the speedo.

Any idea where I am going wrong? Any help appreciated!

Warning lamp on the dash is fed from the foglight side of fuse 29, which is after the relay, switches etc. All that is left is the wires to the lights and the lights themselves.
Check that there are lamps in the foglights!
Check with a 12V lamp that there is power at the connectors. If not, check between the yellow/ X wire at the plug and the car body earth.
