Cornering light question
I'm a new owner of 2007 E550.
Today I noticed only one side cornering light was on coming out of garage.
Later on, I saw both side was on when I parked. Is there any case when only one side would turn on.
Can you manually turn on/off these light? I couldn't find separate control for these lights. Not even sure if these are called cornering light. I'm referring to those light that look like fog lights.
Thanks.

The front fog lamp on the side of your steering direction comes on. That is to say, slightly turn the steering wheel to either side and that side will illuminate travel straight and both illuminate.

Thank you for the information.
I verified this and it works correctly.
I guess I cannot have both of them on normally since they are not really fog lamps.
I think will will be great driving at night.
Do you have the entire manual in PDF by chance?
It is so much better to read and search in PDF.
Thanks.

Also, you'll now notice that when you turn the wheel to the left, the left cornering light will illuminate UNLESS the car has been previously placed into reverse, in which case the right one will light up. (Because that is the way the front end will swing out while in reverse) Pretty clever.
Those lights are also the fog lights.

To turn them both on manually to work as true fog lamps, turn your light switch fully clockwise (all the way to the right) and pull out 1-click. This will turn the front two fog lamps on. If you pull out 2-clicks, this will turn on your rear driver's side fog lamp. Advice: Don't turn on your rear fog lamp unless it is truly needed, it is very annoying to be behind a car that has this extra lamp on when it isn't needed.
