When I turn on the fog lights while driving and then turn the car off, I notice the fog lights don't come back on the next time the lights are turned on. I have to turn them on manually. I keep the switch in position 3 (auto). Is this how they are designed to work? Can I do something that will make them turn on automatically when the lights turn on or can the dealer program them to stay on?

Thanks in advance.

It's possible, you would have to re route a bunch of wires...do some wire tapping...something like that...

Not hard to press the button but it would be nice if you don't have to think about it and have them turn on automatically Oh well no biggie. I guess I was more concerned with making sure there wasn't anything wrong with the functionality.

Thanks all.
