Problem fog light
Hello everybody!
When I set the light switch to AUTO, (BI-xenon) lights are turned on but only the left fog light is on (not both fog lights!!!). When I tried to turn on fog lights manually everything is working fine ! Please help! Does anybody know if this problem is about any sensor (maybe the headlight dusk sensor)? Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English.

I have been having this exact problem with my Mercedes fog light. Unfortunately, now I can't get the fog lights to go off except with the left turn signal on (in park and the engine off). I guess I have to go to my dealer to fix it...

What position is your steering wheel in?
The "Lighting Option" package that came with (comes with?) the SLK 350 included a turn lighting assist, which turns on the fog light on the side you are turning to if the car is moving some slow speed (not sure how fast) (or is stopped.)
Try this: Turn them on as you say, and turn the steering wheel to the left. Look at it. Then turn the wheel to the right. If this is what you are encountering, then the right fog light should be on and the left off. It's a feature, not a bug, designed to help you pull into dark driveways, etc.
