Front Fog Lamp Indicator - Description

DESCRIPTION

A front fog lamp indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not equipped with the optional front fog lamps, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located above the fuel gauge and to the left of speedometer on the cluster overlay.

The front fog lamp indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog Light in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A green Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in green through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.

When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the front fog lamp indicator is dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster illumination lighting using the panel lamps dimmer control sleeve on the left multi-function switch control stalk.

The front fog lamp indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
