I think only one light is supposed to come on when you pull the light switch all the way out.

The front fog lights turn on when you pull the light switch out to the first notch. The rear single (driver's side) fog light turns on when the switch is pulled out to the second notch (all the way). Before 1990 both sides would light up for the rear fogs but that created some confusion because the rear fogs looked like the brake lights so the manufacturers only installed the driver's side. This is a very good solution since you can better judge the distance to the car in front of you when you can see both the single rear fog and the normal tail light.
