Thanks for the info on the gauge.

So the lights and the switches are integrated? Some cars have different
bulbs or light tubes that light up the switches I was asking before diving
in.

As far as the fog lights, I thought the whole idea of fog lights was to
replace the headlights when driving in foggy conditions (i.e. the headlights
are aimed high and the reflected light off the fog makes it hard to see, the
fog lights are aimed low so that you can still see the road and not the
reflected light) Having them both on at the same time seems to defeat the
purpose. It's not that way on my VWs or Porsche.
