You can't have fog lights without headlights on...
As above, my fog lights work in auto as I use them to thank people when the headlights are on.
Sorry - I will correct my post - foglights can be selected in Auto (i don't think you could with the mk.6 though). Is the issue that people are leaving their setting on Auto all the time with the first click pulled out so fog lights are on all the time and the headlights come on and off with the light sensor?
How do we explain the picture at the top of the page then?
