High Beams

Do you just mean for nighttime driving? Just flick the turn signal lever forward. If you mean to run just the high beams alone then you've got me...

I guess it would be bad form for me to suggest...

Reading the owner's manual?

I have a C230 but I suspect the controls are the same for fog lamps. They have to be activated manually from the light switch. Turn it all the way to the right and then pull out one or two clicks (One click is front fog two is front and back)

I remember teaching my friend to NOT leave his high beams on all the time. He just got a 2002 BMW 325xi. He thought the blue light on his dash was an indicator that his xenons were on
