Correct me if I'm wrong Lucky but wouldn't it have to be continuous to keep the tell tale light illuminated?
I had to fit a rear fog light to comply with UK regulations but I fitted a seperate switch on the kick panel.

fog lights
Hi reading your post about the fog lights I've just wired mine in a 2002 Zo6 that didn't that have them as standard. This is the easy and legal way for the UK 1. Buy OEM fog lights from main dealer got mine from Baur Millett at a car show £40 each 2.OEM fog light/boot release switch from ebay $45 3.Fused relay, 3metres of 17amp red and 3 metres black 17 amp electrical cable. Replace the fog light switch it prises out easily and plugs straight in, site the relay close to the battery. If you run the wires to the fog lights down the original wiring loom it looks original. connect everthing up use #39 under the fusebox it lifts up use 1.5 mm wire and scotch lock it.
