Fog lights when turning

I've noticed when turning at slow speeds (sub 30mph) my C63 turns on the front fog light in the direction of my turn.. took me a few days to notice.. and at first I thought I had a problem when I saw my cars reflection with only 1 fog on !

Maybe it's documented in the manual, but it's the first car I've had with this, quite neat.

Glad I didn't order the adaptive lighting now

Keep drivin it, there is more you will learn, it so fun figuring out the little things about your car. Try listening to your engine when going down hills. You will notice the car gears down to keep it from picking up run away speeds. Very cool.

Those fogs bug me when i turn at night, people seem to stare and point that there is already a burnt out fog light...ARGH! Is there anyway to disable this feature?

This isn't anything new. I think the old cadillacs had this feature except it wasn't a foglight...it was a light below or above the turn signal. Actually I think other old cars had this too. I think it looks ghey on those cars. At least with MB its the foglight and not a seperate light that sticks out.


example:

If you want to disable a useful safety feature of your car because someone told you it looks funny, you should sell your car immediately and get back in a Camry.
