FOG Lights- indicator help

I noticed tonight with my lights on that when I turn on my fog lights the indicator on the switch goes from a white light to no light. But with the rear it changes from white to yellow. Is might be my imagination but I swear that it use to light up green. Has the green bulb malfunctioned or am I confused with my Rover ?

sounds like your fog light indicator went out. Should be green when on.

Contact your dealer. Need to find out exactly which part is bad.

The light switch is sold as an entire unit. If the LEDs are working to light up the indicators for all but the fog lights, chances are the LED for the fog light indicator is out. It is not available as a separate unit. The part number for the entire headlight switch component is 997 613 535 01.

Instructions for replacing the headlight switch surround (and hence the headlight switch itself) is here:

Thanks should go to Lane and MACarbon who created the instructions.
