Yea, I am basically looking for some way to turn off the fog lights in A mode. Like even during turns.

I've been wondering about that as mine doesn't do much illuminating of the inside corner. Might need adjusting.

Does anyone think it does a good job of illuminating?

I have yet to see any useable extra light when turning. I'd just as soon disable the "feature" also.

I'll have to talk to the service techs when I bring her in for service. There has to be a way to turn that darned thing off.

Mine work very well at illuminating dark corners at low speeds. It is actually quite noticeable.

I think most people complaining that it doesn't work well don't realize that the corner-illuminating fog lamps only come with P2 in the US. For everyone else they just light up and illuminate straight ahead.

If you have P2 and they don't work well I'd suggest taking it to the dealer.

There is, the system is programmable.

Really? I would think to disable the corner illuminating foglamps would be a dealer task.

There is positively no setting on (at least the U.S.) W204 with P2 to disable corner illuminating fog lights.

You can turn daytime running lamps off and on. Furthermore, you can do the interior lighting delay off and on, but there is no setting for the fog lamps.

The dealer can program it off if it matters that much to you.
