Fog Lights

The past few days I have noticed that when my automatic headlights come on, my fog lights come on as well. How do I "unselect" this feature besides turning the fogs off manually everytime?

You have automatic HL's, or do you mean daylight running lights?

In my 02, I have to turn on the fogs every time I want them even if I keep my HL on auto. i thought this was the same for all MYs, or did this change?

I do not have the daytime running lights feature activiated. (I think the dealer is the only person that can activate them). I do have the headlight selector positioned all the way to the left on auto mode.

May I ask why?

I see every day a lot BMWs (and other cars) running with fogs and I personally do not understand this...why people are using theis fogs in clear daylight, in sunny California

I have never used them here, only couple of times in very bad weather in Finland. This is just my opinion, it does not bother me........I am just curios to hear the reason

I use them at night, not during the day

I've noticed a lot of people with fogs on too. I've only used my a handful of times with very bad weather or sometime going through some of the dark canyon roads for the extra light. Outside of that, I just never had a need. Maybe people just think it looks cool? I really don't know, I've wondered why too, but never gave it much thought.

I love the look of Fog Lamps at night, esp on the X5
