2013 G550 fog light flicker/fade

I just got my G a few days ago and am learning the quirks and little easter eggs here and there, but there's one that I can't quite figure out.

At times, it seems like only one of my fog lights is on, and it'll switch from one light to the other, and they fade in and out. Is this for the corner lighting when the car is turning? Or is this a defect in the bulbs or light assembly? I can't figure it out. I first noticed it when a valet was driving my car, so I thought maybe it was the corner lighting feature I read about in the manual, and that maybe the wheels were turned as the lamps were fading/switching from one to the other.

Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Those are your cornering lights.

The fog lights must activated each time you drive. So unless you're turning them on with the button, they've not even on.

Put the rig in drive, roll forward slowly and crank the wheel in each direction. You'll see the added illumination from the corner lights on your front quarter views.
