Fog light issue

Hey guys. I'm having an issue with my drivers side fog light. When I bought the car the fog light lens looked damaged. It wasn't broken but it didn't look like my other one. I replaced the fog light and changed out both bulbs.

The issue is that I have that drivers side fog bulb come on randomly while I'm in "A" on my headlights. Just that one comes on, not the other one. I thought you had to manually select to have the fogs come on by pulling on the switch? When I do this, both lights come on no problem, but it shouldn't be coming on in the automatic setting should it? What do you guys think? Wiring issue?

Wow really?.. That's pretty stupid. I had people keep telling me my fog lights are shorting out and I only really noticed that drivers side one. Relieved that its nothing wrong with the car. Thanks for your help!

Only thing since I dont have it in my C, is how to disable that. maybe if u turn the switch manually from on/off instead of using auto it might stop them or disabling them thru Mercedes Star diagnostic.
