When I put my head-lights on auto setting the fog lights won't turn on with them is that correct? I have to always push the button to have them turn on???? I know it isn't very hard to push the button but every car that I remember ever having the fog's would work w/the auto light function...... Or am I doing something wrong?

Oh no!!!! Fog light automatically on? This question could lead to some interesting comments. Who is awake?
All kidding aside, the fog lights are intended for fog only; they do not come on automatically.

Well either it's very foggy where you live - or you're constantly driving with your fogs on which would naturally be wrong.

[/quote]Well to be honest with you I really haven't driven it at night yet. I just picked it up last night and then I had to go to some function at work which someone was already picking me up and then when I got home kind of late I was trying to get the stupid black things off to switch to the euro reflectors. I DID DRIVE IT DOWN THE STREET
P.s.
I thought that when they where waving that funny wave w/the 1 finger I thought they where saying "WOW that car is #1 dude" I was wrong??????? Then again you might be right it should have been the next finger over to the right huh???

[/quote]What a great saying "to each his own". I wish more people thought that way.
I think the car looks better with them on also. But you do have to push the button any time you want them on.
