What is the purpose of fog lights in a car? Use your lights if visibility is reduced to 100 metres (328 feet) or roughly the length of a football pitch

The switched circuit of the relay gets 12v live feed from a splice into the n/s rear side-light wire, the switch "on" terminal connects to a splice into the n/s fog-light wire. I have confirmed via the russian owners manual that their lighting stalk is on the left and includes the rear fog position (you have to pass through the front, so front is always illuminated if rear are)I see both sides of the argument, and I can see merit in both reasoning. But it is strange that people like us live in europe and embrace things differently than we do. It would appear DVLA can't agree with itself !

It's not just the unit, it's two new (yes, brand new, not used ones) fobs to go with it plus a testbook session to marry them to the ECU.This then led me to believe that the switch on the indicator stalk was faulty or there was loose wiring connecting the switch to the circuitry on the rear of the unit housing the multifunction stalks and squib. However after removing the plastic housing I can see that the wires are intact and are still soldered to the circuit board. When I unplugged the wires connecing the rear fog lamp switch to the loom, the voltmeter was still reading 8 - 9v on the rear bulb holder.
