for Driving Lights but it is fitted with a blank instead of a switch. Like I said my Fog lights only work if I have the lights on and set to low beam /10/2007, Tom McCarthy > Rob, the switch reads "Fog/Driving Lights." From this information, > the two apparently are mutually exclusive. I rarely need high beams > but often get nighttime fog in CA.
