R350 2011 fog lights helps please?

There are 2 fog light each side of the vehicles. In the switch, there are 2 position to turn on fog lights. One use for fog light and other use for rear fog light. When I turn either position, the indicator light turn on for fog and rear fog lights. But when I check the light then only the inner fog light are on and the outer fog light are never on no matter which position that I turn from the switch.

Please explain me what is rear fog light? where is it location? and what is the outer fog light at the front use for? how to turn it on?


Thanks

Rear fog light is the lower portion of your left (driver side) rear brake light illuminated. It's not full bright as if the brakes are on, but just enough so that it is visible in fog or low light conditions/weather.

Anyone in here has experience how to remove the fog light cover? I removed 1 screw at the upper let corner of the cover and I do not know how to open this cover. Any clip need remove? Please help.

The outer fogs on the bumper are daytime running lights. This means that they are only illuminated when the headlights are in the off position. When you turn on your headlights and/or turn on your fogs in the switch the outer ones turn off and the inner fogs are activated.

The quad fogs in the 2011 and 2012 R-Class were not designed to be "on" at the same time.

The fog cover have three screws that hold it into place. One is on the outside and two are inside. You need to either remove the bumper or somehow get access to the two inner screws through the fender well.

Good Luck.

Thank you so much Rodneyc77.

I need to order exact LED and HID light bulbs type for fog-light and DRL light before I make decision to open my fender or bumper.

The fog-light type is H11.

I want to know exactly what type of the DRL light bulb. In the manual is not say anything about fog-light or DRL light. I think because it is option in AMG sport package.

Anyone know the DRL light bulb type for R350 2011 AMG sport package please tell. Thanks
