I've just bought a P reg Micra Shape from the auctions and it seems fine, apart from the fact that there is no fog lamp switch!

There's a factory-fitted blanking panel just left and below of the steering wheel where I'd expect the switch to be. I can't see anywhere else to look.

Is a fog lamp a legal requirement on a P reg (1997) car?

PS The car came with a fairly new MOT!

If its got an MOT it must have a fog lamp, and hence a switch. The blanked off switch would be for front fogs, which wern't fitted to your particular Micra afaik.

Our 2001 Micra has the foglamp switch on the indicator stalk. There's the bit you twist for the headlights, and next to this there is another twisty bit for the foglight.

Thanks - found it now. I've been driving Metro's for the past 10 years so it's just a case of getting used to an unfamiliar layout.
