CLK 230K
Courtesy Lights

Not sure if this has been covered elsewhere. Apologies if it has.
I was wondering if it is possible to have the front fog lights as courtesy lights when you unlock the car via remote and when you turn off ignition (when leaving the car).
This feature is on most newer Mercs. I have a 2000 CLK.

My foglights turn on after closing the door as a courtesy light...

But it doesn't turn on when I approach my car...

Was this an update ??
I don't think the facelift 208's in Europe had this up till 2000 or even 2001.
Unless it was introduced for 2002.
Anyone ????

Both my Fog and City lights turn on when closing the door and removing the key from the ignition. They stay on for about 2 mins and then shut off...

They do not come on when unlocking/approaching the car .

Yes mine stay on for 30 seconds but only if the headlights were turned on at any point during the drive.
