Light Switch got pushed it.
 
Hello, This morning I was rushing to get inside the car and my knees hit the light switch controls for the front and rear FOGS and sunk them in a bit. They still work but the buttons are no longer flushed with the other side which carries the instrument dimmer button. Does anyone know how to open this area, can It be pushed back out? you can tell when you push the for light switch on they and of go further in.

Sounds like the switch assembly has opened behind the console. Sounds like you should remove lower (knee) panel beneath steering wheel and remove the switch and inspect it. It may need to be replaced.

I guess there is no other way to get to the switch? I thought you could just pull it out from the front

japforgerman Yes let us know how it goes,Germans are pretty good at designing stuff but the placement of the lighting control knob is way down there.I trip mine at least once a week.Maybe I've got big knees !

Thats so true. I have been having 18degree weather so have not had a chance to do it yet. Where can I download the service manual?

Thanks.
