I've mounted my fog/driving lights on my 70 MGB and will be wiring them thru relays and separate from my headlights. I would like to use separate toggle switches with some type if light to let me know they are on and use switched power. Any suggestions for placement of the toggle switches and what's available for this application?
Thanks, Rut

Rut,
When I installed my driving/fog lights, I also wanted it to be a clean installation.
Therefore, since I was using a relay, the load on a switch would be minimum.
So, I used a standard Lucas/Moss lighted switch and mounted it in an empty slot in my dash. I think this is the slot for the rear window defogger on a GT.
I like how it looks. It has a light so I know it is on. Plus I did not have to mount another type switch somewhere.
Oil leak?? What oil leak? That puddle under the car is just sweat from all that horsepower!!

Rut,
I knew your dash was different, but I thought that you might have an empty slot in it.
Sorry I could not be of more help
