Fog lights?

[Chb04]

Should the fog lights be able to be turned on if your not using the headlights? Every other vehicle I've had you were able to use just the fogs when you needed them. I have halogen headlamps and no auto on. I'm thinking I have a bad switch?

nope. thats the way they all are. you can vag it and sit it to rest of world or canado if you want indipendent fogs. you can also modify the swich. us the search. look up indipendent fogs

You need to modify the switch to do so. Not that hard; takes about 5 minutes

how would one go about doing that? Is there a helpful link out there?

I was wondering the same thing this weekend. I have a B6 S4 and I was driving through some fog and I noticed that I could not turn on my fogs unless I switched the lights from Auto to manual mode. Seems weird that you cannot turn on the fogs in Auto mode. Guess i will just have to rig the switch.

Here's the DIY

You can do a search and find this stuff too.

I recently did the switch mod on my B7 Avant and no Vag was required.

I decided to jumper the pins and cover the end of the one pin rather than cut the wire behind the switch.

Took 5 minutes, now I can run fogs with parking lights independent of the headlights, except in Auto Mode.
