How to operate front fog light?

I have a 2010 E550c (c207) Canadian spec with AMG package and hocky stick LEDs. As far as I know the LED h. sticks are dual use DRLs and Fog lights, is this correct?

If so, how would I switch'm on if I want to? I've tried everything I can't control them for some reason. Manual is not clear, I know the rear fog light works by pulling the h.light knob not sure about the fronts

Your help is appreciated

Thanks

Went to my dealer with the same question. On USA builds with LED DRL's there is no front fog light. All you have is lower powered (about 10%) led's at night when headlights are on. Wish MB gave us the option to bring led's up to 100% power with headlights. This way LED drl's could be used to provide additional road lighting.

Be interesting to know how to do this... when I press the button my fog lights on the tail lamps comes on and the LED DRLs switch off??

At night whenever I turn a corner the beam moves slightly in that direction but the relevant corner lights up as if the DRLs are switching to a higher power for that moment then it dims back down when I've straightened up - it can't be the bi-xenon projector as you'd notice that.

I reckon that you can persuade an MB garage to configure the DRLs to be on 100% power all the time though the star computer, will ask on friday when I pop in see what they say.
