How did you manage to type "fog" incorrectly in three different places within the same post?
No, you cannot set the fog lights to automatically turn on in the "auto" setting. You do not need to drive around with your fog lights on all of the time. To use them when necessary, simple turn the knob two clicks to the right (from the auto setting) and pull the knob out one click (two clicks for front/rear fogs). When you turn off the car, remove the key and open the door, the car will beep to alert you to manually turn off your lights.

I bet you can do some wiring to get the fogs work in auto although I'd prefer the OEM setup since my fogs usually attract some unwanted attention. I only use them when I am in the "attack" mode of finding people to race me.

I don't know if I want frogs or forgs on my car 
, but....
The FOG LIGHTS won't work while driving in Auto mode. If you want 'Attack Mode', drive with just the fogs and city lights on, when someone wants a piece Bam! turn on those BIX ftw!

Btw, are your fogs covered with lamin-x? I'm thinking of getting some film from them...

Yeah, considering I got it out of a bargain bin, very impressive. Regardless, the lamin-x has been good? I'm thinking of putting the light smoke on my headlights and fogs...

yes, there are holes near each one. You need a very long phillips head screwdriver. Turn right or left to aim the fog light up and down. There is an outside and inside housing. The outside glass will not move. The inside lens housing will move up and down.
