I would like to know why there's no light on the dash that indicate that the fog light are on/off. Usually there's always a light that indicate that the light are on/off... It's not usefull when is dark outside (because you can see if the fog light are on/off) but during the day it's pretty annoying... you must check if you're fog light's switch is on or off.Another thing, do you thing that it's easy to place a small light that turn on when the fog light are on ??

I would like to know why there's no light on the dash that indicate that the delay wipers are on/off. Usually there's always a light that indicate that the delay wipers are on/off... It's not useful when it's raining hard outside (because you can see the wipers are going) but during light mist it's pretty annoying... you must check if your wiper delay switch is on or off.

I have personally never seen a vehicle that has this option. On some vehicles, the headlight knob has a little light built into the knob that indicates whether the fog lamps are on. This is a knob I have seen that is mounted on the dashboard however, not on the steering column, like the Vibe.quote:It's not usefull when is dark outside (because you can see if the fog light are on/off) but during the day it's pretty annoying... you must check if you're fog light's switch is on or off.If I may ask, what is wrong with just glancing down at the fog lamp switch to see if it is in the ON or OFF position?

FYI: During the day your fog lamps will not function while your DRL are on.

Saturn, Saab, Toyota, Chrysler, Honda's...basically every car company has a way to show that the fog lights are on. I agree that they should have had some sort of indication that shows that the lights are on. Maybe in the next generation of Vibe (due out in 2006).
