Sorry the light that's in the picture is the fog lights when the car is turn off those lights turn on. Even when auto mode is turned on they turn on when the car is off and the main lights turn off.

I'm not sure about your particular model, but usually all cars with fog lamps have a switch to turn it off. Fog lamps are not supposed to be used all the time anyway.
