Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

General Description

On Pontiac the fog lamp switch is located below the headlamp and instrument panel dimmer switch to the left of the steering column. To use the fog lamps, first turn on the headlamps or parking lamps. Then push the right side of the fog lamp switch to turn on the fog lamps. Push the left side of the switch to turn off the fog lamps.

The fog lamps should not be used as a substitute for the headlamps.
Switching to high-beam headlamps will turn off the fog lamps. Switching back to low-beam headlamps will turn the fog lamps on again.

The fog lamps must be aimed for proper illumination of the road. Fog lamp aim should be checked when a new bulb is installed or if service repairs to the front end area may have disturbed the fog lamp mountings.
