Fog lights switches

[M123]

Hi.

Have a Tahoe 2002 that's made for the European market.

Have noticed my fog light switches doesn't have any bright light for telling if it's on or not. Did open one and did look inside and it's a green diode bulb and the window it's going to shine through are tinted and frosted so almost no light comes out.

The part numbers are.

Front fog light switch 15729517

And

Back fog light switch 15715117

Did of course Google the numbers and did come across that's they don't do them anymore.
Have this switches even been existing in the USA and where can I find new ones?

Thanks.

Yeah the US market trucks did not have the rear euro foglight. If you could post pics of the switches that might help.

Honestly, your best bet is to have LEDs soldered in to them.

Hi.

@1BADI5
Here you have pictures how they look.

Have you tried to power up the switch lights off the vehicle to see if the bulbs/LEDs are working?

I've replaced the lighting in several switches and bought complete light kits for my 4x4 switches and one or two others from this company: https://carradiobulbs.com/

They may have what you need.

Thanks for the response.
I did connect it when I did have it apart, and it does light up and do shine as it should when it's in the free. But the case are wrongly designed with the window, you can't even see it in the pictures.
I can take it apart again some day if it are interesting to see the inside for someone.

I will look up that page.
Thanks.

USA switches have a little LED that lights up when the fogs are on. These pics show the backlighting.

Fogs on:




Fogs off:




Your switches don't seem to have the yellow LED indicator.

Thanks @Fless
Your setup are more logic both in place and where you maneuver the function.

Now my pictures lies, my phone do take in more then three times light against what I see.
Did see the background lights doesn't exist.
Good I really need new switches.
I apologize for the poor quality...

Off


On

Good, so you do have the "on" indicators, but just need the backlighting.

Doubt they'd have much in Europe.
