Rear Fog Light is out already?
Car only has 100 miles on it. Does anyone know if this is just a simple fix or do they have to order special bulbs since it's the lower part?

Just noticed it when I tried to turn on the rear fog light feature for the 1st time

Are you sure you are meant to have a pair? In the UK many cheaper cars only come with one on the drivers side. As we don't even get a space saver spare wheel it might be just another cost saving.

Rear fog light meant to light only in the driver side. I am not sure about the logic but I am sure it lights only on the driver side. Search the forum or check the manual.

They are designed to be only on the drivers side. The rationale is that they won't be confused for brake lights and it is easier to identity the drivers side in low viability conditions.

I noticed only drivers side has light, then as following a new Jag noticed same so must be the new standard.
