He's referring to the headlight switch. Just pull it towards you. It has two clicks. With the first click turning on the front fog lights and second click turning on the rear fog light.

And if you pull it out for TWO clicks then your rear single fog light comes on. But please don't be an idiot and drive with it on just for the heck of it

No, this would be illegal too in most countries. Specifically the rear fog needs to go off automatically before a new ride. The driver would not necessarily notice the rear fog being on and it really irritates cars following (at night if it isn't foggy). The rules are the same for front fogs even if those are less critical for misuse.
