I'd also like to know how to run the fog lights without having to turn on the headlights, like when driving during the day with just the daytime running lights on or with just the parking lights on.

I get it now... I think DRL's and fogs at the same time would look cool. The previous generation E-Class Mercedes had that ability and it looked really nice.

I was thinking fogs only without the DRL's earlier
