fog lights

hi guys; just noticed that the drivers side fog light is always on when my low beam lights are on. when i turn the fog lights on, the passenger side fog light goes on. switch off and driver side stays on. anyone else have this problem. thanks in advance.

that is an odd issue, don't think I've heard of that one before. Sounds like a wiring gremlin.

When I turn, the one fog light turns on depending on the direction I turn, is that right?

If you are driving under 40km with lights on automatic - your fog lights have a turn-off light (ie corning light) via a reflector within the fog light that comes on when it senses you are making a turn

It's not an issue, it's the cornering lights, as wdmiax5 said. No wiring glitch.

Well, you can do it with parking lights and halos.

Turn your headlight switch to the parking light setting, and hit the fog light button. Looks really cool IMO..................make all the ricers envious (they have to rewire their lights to do what we can do )

unless you rewire the DRL to the fogs then I don't think you can do it...

Agreed, parking lights + fogs looks WAY cool.
