Key switches (Opel Vectra B)

The key switches are located in the Vectra at the bottom of the light switch (fog lights and fog lamps), in the control module, and also in the center console. Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the bulbs for the switch lighting separately. If the bulb is faulty, you must accept it or replace the switch assembly.
