I assumed that clicking the lights on high beam, that the fog lights would come on but they don't. I can't find my owners manual, so how do you turn these on?

Fogs

Turn on low beams. Pull on headlight switch. Fogs go out when you kick up high beams. Will come back on when you go back to lows.

You just pull out on the switch. Took me about 2 seconds and no manual to figure it out.

By law the fog lights can't be on at the same time as the high beams....they will only work with th low beams on. I know you can buy a module to keep them on with the high beams but I am not sure where. It is kind of annoying to always have people flas their lights at me when I am driving with my low beams on cause they think that they are my high beams....that is until I turn the high beams on.....lol......I heard that betweent the years of the s197's the fog lights were actuated in different ways. Mine you just pull the headlight switch out and keep on the low beams.......Good luck and happy driving

Once you get the fogs on be prepared to get flashed by every other moron on the road who think you have your high beems on.

I have no job, I have no gas, and I'm poor. I live in a closet... Maybe that's why I don't get flashed...... jk. Seriously though, I've never had one person flash me... and I'm always ready with my hand on the bright lights. haha I just wanna do it once.

Yep, there's a lot of big trucks, but I don't live TOO far out in the country. About 25 minutes from the city.

That's why I put amber bulbs in my fog lights. Haven't got flashed since.

The worst part about the flash treatment is that I always have to wonder if they are flashing me because of the fog lights or I am heading into a speed trap! Not that I would ever speed.

Looking for a way to turn on the inside lights - regular lights outboard - do you call them driving lights? Not fog lights

Late to the party. On my 2007, I don't even have to have the head lights on. With just the running lights / parking lights on, I can pull out the switch and turn on the "fogs".

In my day, growing up, fog lights were always amber and driving lights were always clear. And also, fog lights were always mounted very low on the vehicle, not in the grill. So I don't call them fog lights, I call them driving lights. Even the HIDs on my Lightning are driving lights.

My 2006 is a pull w/low beams on. I’ll eventually see if I can turn Bambi mode on w/Forscan (keeps fogs on w/high beams). I had both clear and amber bulbs for my 1965 GT 2+2 - the amber obviously worked best in fog but the clear looked better whether on or off.
