Question about exterior lights...

I have gleaned that pulling "out" the knob which turns on the lights will turn on the front fog lights. However, if you pull it out to the 2nd stop, what does that do? I dont seem to notice a difference outside looking out the front or rear window.

My car didnt come with an owners manual. Ugh.

Thanks...

2nd pull

The second pull is for the rear fog light. You will notice that when you pull this, the left rear light will be brighter than the right rear light. Common (if not required) on european cars.

You can purchase a whole set of manuals and a leather cover for @$80 on Ebay.

Learn something new every day, I never caught this one.

The MB function diagram in ALLDATAdiy shows one being in each rear lamp. I am going to investigate this one a little further out of curiosity.
