Dumb Fog light question

How do you turn them on? I've tried every mode including auto and they don't seem to turn on. but they do turn on whenever I unlock the car

Accidently pressed the button for the headlight washers and it went all over my hood

Don't pull it all the way out unless it's really foggy.
halfway out = front fog lights
all the way out = front fog lights + rear fog lights
The rear fog lights are basically super bright red tail lights, meant to increase your visibility to other cars when you are driving in very foggy conditions. They are obnoxious in any other conditions and you'll annoy other drivers (and look like an idiot) if you drive around with your rear fogs lights on for no reason.
