    Where to mount driving light switch?

    Hi. My 1972 911 has a set of factory fog lights under the bumper and I'm adding driving lights (when I find them) through the horn grilles. The question is, with factory fogs, I already have a foglight switch between the rear defogger switch and the cigarette lighter. Where, then, would be the "correct" place to install the driving light switch? I saw an earlier car with the extra switch where my hazard switch is. I don't want to move that. Any info would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    switch

    Mauro,

    I will get your pictures downloaded tomorrow. The switch is located just right of the steering column and the switch is different than the fog light switch you currently have. It was a small knob black bosch switch that was identical to the rear wiper switch (mounted left side). I believe the dash already has a port for that switch if you push on the vinyl skin, you should feel it.
    Knob looks like this(thanks to Zithlord):

    You may consider wiring them through the high beam circuit - no extra switch necessary. Those suckers come on with the high beams and it's like DAYLIGHT!
