Is it normal....
For when you first start up the car and drive and its either dusk or night, that one of the foglights turns on and not the other until a little bit later (or sometimes not at all). Both of my fog lights work when I turn them on, but when I just have my headlights, it seems that when I start my car sometimes one comes on and the other doesnt...
Normal?

yep, if you have your headlights set on Auto, then the fog lights turn on depending on which way you're turning the wheel...
the fog lights light up the road in the direction you're turning a little more for you. turn left, left one turns on, turn right, right one turns on.
i think if you set it 2 positions to the right of auto. which is manually turning the headlights on, then it won't do the fog light thing... and you have to pull the knob to get both fogs on.

^^ if you go alllllll the way over to the right (manually turn the lights on) and pull the knob up once, fogs stay on (i.e. no more cornering)...if you go twice the rear "fog light" turns on as well
