Fog lights kept burning out.

So, after spending $$$ on numerous bulbs and finally taking my car into the dealership for out-of-warranty work, I learned that the turning/cornering feature of the car.

I've owned my car since 2009 and did not know this! $200 labor service for them to tell me that's how the fog lights worked! I want to laugh and drive off the bridge at the same time. I guess i prepared myself for $$$$$$ in repairs.

I'm sure you all knew about this feature. I guess I need to be a little more intimate with my car.

If only you had a book that told you that when you bought your car. It's surprising that most people don't read their owners manual when they buy a car.

Yeah... I'm guilty of this. Funny thing is that I'm the type that loves to read the manual front to back. Unfortunately, I refer to the car manual on "how to replace this" or "how to operate that". I would never have thought to read the "fog light" section of the book. Maybe "how to replace a fog light bulb".

kinda off topic would anyone know what package that would be in for the turning/cornering fog lights?

Doa

its an option your dealer can always activate or deactivate. i had the impression its a standard option so all 204's with fog lights had it.
btw just put LED's in there

Oh alright. didnt know that i thought it was under the lighting package or something. i guess mine are turned off. if i want to make sure do i just put on the turn signal and look outside the car? or do i have to turn the turn signal on and turn to the direction im going to see if its activated?

turn your steering wheel to the left or right and check if one of the fog lights is on. no need for the turn signal
