Weird tail light-aux driving light thing going on

So when I turn on the aux driving lights (switch all the way to the right and pulled out) the drivers-side tail light glows brighter than the passenger side. I move the switch back to "auto" everything goes back to normal.

Anyone else experience this?

That's your rear foglight.

It's right there in the owners manual

If you notice the two lights on each side of the switch, one yellow and one amber, That will let you know. The yellow light signifies the fog lights being on and the amber shows that the rear fog light is on. Just pull it out one click and youll be good to go!

"break right it as soon as its out of the box"

I hate when I see MB owners driving around like that, makes the car look like it's bulb is burning out.
Something that I was curious about tho that relatesbto this topic. My friend has a Range Rover Supercharged, the full sized, and when he pulls out his rear fogs, both fogs on the tail lights come on. I was wondering if there's any way to wire MB tail lights to make both of ours come on
