Well out of interest Dave I also looked. I found pictures of a couple of 2011 and 2012 Supersports that had five lever type switches (maybe ex factory) with no surprise the extra controlling front auxiliaries.
A wise move to leave your existing four alone as in one version the switches were attached directly to the PCB. I you have occasion to take dash off add some extra water proofing in that area.

I have a double usb charger and the toggle switch that works the map/interior light fitted to the sidewall of the glovebox ... can't be seen without deliberately looking but an easy reach for the driver what with Morgans being so 'compact'

But where to fit said switch? This is where I stuck my temporary rear fog switch. Hidden under the dash, not pretty but just sufficient to enable the car to pass MOT’s. ![[Linked Image]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cnf106zo01qkzkd/fog%20switch.jpg)

Fitting an extra toggle switch to the dash undertray is easiest. Plenty of room internally above it to take the switch body and its easy to drill . When i fitted a klaxon, I placed the button on the section next to my right knee.

I suppose the stainless suits the dash but in view of your trip down the 'traditional' road ... maybe something old-school might suit 😁 ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/11/17/20221117_205938.jpg) K

If you could squeeze it in one of those positions I would be tempted to go for a latching push button switch like this from Car Builder Solutions to match operation of others. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.carbuilder.com/images/thumbs/0030808_illuminated-latching-push-button-switch-rear-fog-.jpeg) You could fit it so icon matched front fog.
