fog lights dont turn on.

The other night for the first time since i bought the car, the fog lights came on. The ones down low in the centre, i presume they are called fog lights, im not sure.

But anyway, they were on for the first time, then i turned the headlights off and back on again, and the fog lights didnt come back on.

Im just wondering if they are meant to come on with the normal headlights. I fiddled with the headlight switch but i couldnt get them to come on again.
Does this sound like a loose wire behind the switch?
I might take the switch panel off and have a look, but any info would be helpful, thx.

The fog light switch is below the head light ****. No they aren't suppose to come on when you turn the lights on. Maybe aftermarket ones can be wired to them? Im honestly not sure since my Fog Light plug is burnt lol.

They also do not operate when the headlights are in the high beam position.

that little blue switch under the headlight **** is the fog light switch? That doesnt do anything.

My car has been RHD converted, all the dash has been redone because its now on the opposite side, whoever converted probably changed something.

I swear every month im finding something new that has been changed from stock.

Im planning to get a car electrician to fix all my dash lights and demister buzzing noise soon, ill spose ill just get him to look at the fog lights too.
