Fog Light Switches

Is there any difference between the fog light switch from a 1990 camaro vs a switch from the previous years (1982 - 1989) besides the colour of the print on the switch?

Re: Fog Light Switches

Yes, the font color was different, 90-92 being yellow as opposed to white, the plug i believe is different, although the only plug i've seen are for the fog lights without the activation light on them, so it was a relatively simple plug. 90-92 all had an activation light that turned on when they were in use.

IIRC, the earlier models have a three-prong plug (without illumination); later models are four-prong (with illumination). I'm unsure of the year of change, but I'd suggest 88.

A buddy had an 86 without the indicator light, my 87 has it.

Thanks
I found a switch I had from an 86 and it only has 2 prongs I guess I'll need to get another.

Re: Fog Light Switches

My 87 doesn't have the light. Guess they may have switched off during the production run.
