Don't have it so I can't use it.

Doesn't come with US spec cars. You would have an extra button to press by the light switch

I did that in the past, used it as a BFD. But since the E60 has BFD I am not doing it anymore!
I use the hazards instead, when I approach traffic jam on the highway...

Don't have them but if I did, I'd never use them unless it was truly foggy.

Side note...

Can we get all Audi and MB owners in the US to follow someone in one of their cars at night (no fog, of course) with the rear fogs turned on? Is it me or are they the biggest abusers of the rear fog lights?

(And yes, the rear fogs DO blind other drivers behind you...flame away...)
