Automatic Fog lights!

I am wondering everytime at night when the fog lights are off and I turn my sterring wheel to one side that side only the fog light turns ON and then turns off once I turn the wheel to the other side and this happens on both side. This the first time I have every seen this. My GL 450 light package so I dont now if it has anything to do with this option.

It should be the cornering light option of a bi-xenon equipment.
The cornering light function uses the left or right fog lamp at junctions or bends to illuminate a wider area.

you can turn it off by using your steering wheel control buttons. IMHO, it looks very odd expicially at a signal light at night

Thanks for the info, I never knew this and owning prevoise MB I never experaince this before. To me it looks like one side is working and the other is not but hey if this helps illuminate the corners better why not.
