Driving lights -operation?

[jim riordan]

Well, I belive that (at least on mine) they are driving lights not fog lamps.

/once activated by suspension up high beams on they do operate on low beam

Coincidently, I was checking all the lights the other night. I tried
the Fog/Driving light switch. Nothing. At Holland Motor Homes, I
asked them to chek the bulbs and/or power. They said the Fog/driving
lights came on with HIGH beams! Why would anyone want these lights
meant for fog on when high beams do not work well in fog?

Just to see what cars do, I checked all I had. All makes, years and
models worked only on low beams and never on high. Those include '07
BMW X3, '01 BMW, '06 Mini Cooper, '07 Astin Martin.

Now I read you guys saying yours only come on with high beams, too.
Why? I thought somebody reversed mine at some point. What is the
logic, or lack thereof, in this setup?
