Check the earth connections on the rear lights, there is a small cluster of earths on the LHS side of the engine bay. Fog light switch itself and (heat) damaged cable esp in the engine bay And I think the crown of earths above the fuse box may also be worth a look.

10.9v would be enough to to light the lamp - maybe not brightly but I'd have thought you could see it at least :?
