I did a previous 2001 P2 V70 and didnt need any software download then.

if i remember correctly you could just use a small screwdriver to press the switch

Hi I think I am getting there, the switch is sorted, have got the fog lights with bulbs, a relay was mentioned I cannot locate a position for a relay. all I have found is the fuses which are already installed. the only thing I need to sort is what type of screws required for mounting the fog lights.
thank for all your help

when i get a minute james i'll post a pic for you to see the screws that secure the foglights, they should be the same fixings as what are holding the blanking covers on and also IIRC the relay should be placed on the CEM up behind the dash under the steering wheel but i can try and double check

thanks a million Alex for your help it was very useful, I am going to try to fit the fogs this afternoon, as for the relay I bought a haynes manual and searched the wiring diagram the lights seam to go straight to a fuse I cannot find a relay, mind you there diagrams are not the easiest to follow.
