Fog light circuit

Hi all
No foglight on my last MOT test, but can't figure out why inop. Swapped switch for 2nd Hand, but still the same. Will work if I feed a live to the neutral at the back to the wires that go directly to the fog lamp, so appears to work on a negative pole or something. No live at the fuse box, no live on the GREY/green wire from the switch, that's if there's supposed to be. Front fogs work if I feed a live on the switch to the GREYgreen wire on the switch. But won't work when I pull the switch out to put the fogs on. Is the switch kippered? (and the 2nd hand one?) Is this a known problem? On the 2nd hand one there was a black wire attached to something, but I don't know what now, I foolishly took it apart before checking, and there wasn't one on mine. Is there something missing off my switch?

Thanks in advance

This negative pole situation or whatever it is called I find a bit confusing, how some items work when you do the 'normal' of + to + and - to -, and some need to be 'earthed'.
