Fog Light Indication Lamp

[PM3]

Guy's.
I was scraping the ice off this morning when I noticed my front fog lights were on.
I'd obviously left them on since all the foggy weather. I don't normally leave them on so checked in car and noticed that there is no indication lamp on the instrument cluster to notify you that the fogs are on. The only indication is on the main light switch at knee height, and as I have auto lights I have no need to even look at this switch 99% of the time.
I'm fairly certain that my MKII had a lamp on the instruments.
So I spose the question is, is this correct or have I got a lamp out in the instrument cluster?

That is correct, no fog lamp indicator in the instrument cluster. With auto-lights, you do need to remember to switch off manually - fog lamps are automatically cancelled if you manually set the light switch to off.

Mine notifies me when I have the front ones and the rear one

I have dash indicator for rear fog with led lights so no front fogs fitted.

What's led lights got to do with not having front fogs?

Cupra's are not fitted with front fogs due to a cooling duct for the brakes. Nowt to do with the fairy lights. (LED's)

MK2 is the same front fogs just show a green light on the dial, rear fogs show a warning light on dash.

Yeah exactly, I know that cupra's don't have fogs. It's got nothing to do with LED headlights

 

[kiddo]

My bad. I thought all led headlights had no front fogs.

That's what I thought but It's not for brake cooling, there's an extra cooler behind the LH grille. The brake ducts are from underneath.

by jove you are right. I've just been and had a look at the 290 and the left (nearside) appears to have something there as you say, also seems to send more air into engine compartment. Looking at offside one , I can see what appears to be air con pipes, horn and further on engine etc. There are some bleed holes into that duct to wheel arch, but again the main purpose appears to be extra cooling for the engine bay. You live and learn, as they say.
