Shooting from the hip... but I know that if I turn my lights on manually and then pull out the switch all the way (2 "notches"), it'll turn on the front fogs first, then the left rear fog, kinda like you have. Dunno, though. Could be completely wrong.

No, it is not normal. Your tail lights need to be reprogrammed so that only the horizontal bars are lit. And yes they have been like that.

See the first post in this thread?

Your left tail light looks like the one in that picture. The brake light is on and the rear fog light is on even though you did not press the brake or turn on the fog light.

You need to reprogram the rear SAM.
