Centre Console - knobs / switches

[haikuhead]

A quick question about the knobs / switches on the centre console section. 

My 1973 Coupe has just 3 - fog lamps, cigar lighter and heated rear window.

But I've seen photos of other Coupes that have 5 knobs / switches in this section.

Would these have been optional extras at the time or retro-fit?

And what might they have been? Rear fog light? Hazard lights?

Thanks

Perhaps Hazard but rare - rear fog = extremely rare but they were available as accessories.  Most had just the front fog and optional extra HRW

Thanks Phil. The photos I've seen must have been of people retrofitting some extras.

I was thinking of adding switches for hazard lights and Kenlowe fan there to accompany the fog lights, heated rear window and cigar lighter.

My P5b Coupe has 5. Like Phil assumed, a hazard warning switch was already fitted to my car and i added a switch for a rear fog light as it is my daily car and i found only rear lights not safe enough

There's only two on mine (plus the cig lighter) and I still can't remember which does what...

Very cool redsunbeam. Two questions.

1. What does 'Sport Mode' do?

2. Where did you get the extra multi-coloured knobs?

Thanks.
Sport mode holds the Lexus gearbox in a lower gear longer and sharpens up the changes.
The extra knobs came from both eBay and vehicle wiring products.
