I'm wondering if anyone has a source that they get minor parts from? I'm looking for a factory foglight switch, for front lights, that will fit for my '96 854T. I'm planning on installing some Hella FF75s and wanted a factory switch to look the best.

thanks to all in advance!

    I think the Volvo OEM switch is only $15-20. Depending on whether you want independent use of foglights, you'll probably find your car pre-wired for the oem foglight package. (Fellow brickster "Erlend" discovered this, plus a special jumper you have to connect under the dash.)

    Factory foglight wiring requires headlights to be on (US) or foglights (EU).

    Using n0v8or's wiring diagram and $15 worth of parts, you can use the OEM switch and part of the pre-existing wiring to get completely independent use of the foglights. And they'll go off when you turn off the ignition.

      Thank you David!

      I hadn't thought that the switch was so reasonably priced. Do tell more about where I can learn more about the pre-wiring and install. It'd be great to have them pre-wired. That'd make install mostly seamless.

      Much appreciated,

      /Scott
