Fog Light Gremlin
#21
The common thing with everyone who has talked about the fog lamps going out then not coming back on while in Auto mode is that they are all 05 and up, non-R, cars. I wonder if there is something different in the programming in the 05 and up cars
I don't think anything is actually wrong with our cars.. I just think it's weird.

This legal requirement that the fogs shut off when you turn on your brights seems to me to be some bureaucrat not thinking about the situation properly.
The fog lamps are mounted low for a purpose. It's my experience that fog normally hangs 2-3 feet above the roadway. The fogs shine low to illuminate the roadway beneath the fog. If aimed properly, the fogs should not contribute to blinding an oncoming car, even with the brights on.

This has me real interested now. So, PHD, you have a 2003 STR, correct? The 05 and up STR has no front fog lamps. The common thing with everyone who has talked about the fog lamps going out then not coming back on while in Auto mode is that they are all 05 and up, non-R, cars. I wonder if there is something different in the programming in the 05 and up cars? It wouldn't make sense except for the little detail that they omitted the front fog lamps on the R, starting in 2005.
