When the weather warms up a bit That is the combination I have ready to 
install on my TR3. Of course you need a switch for each because you 
would normally run either the fog or driving lamp. If you had jst fog or 
driving lights you would only need a single switch. The amber fog lights 
were required in France because they cut through the fog better and less 
annoying reflected off droplets of water. They were also optional in 
different countries.

I will be using the Lucas PS-7 switch panel shown at the bottom of the
