Correct, the round ones in the corner of the fenders, down at the very bottom are the fogs. The stalk setting should look like this, if they are switched off (apologies for low lighting, pic taken in a parking garage at work):

Yup, that's how my stalk settings look. They only come on when I'm moving. I took it by the dealership and they claim it's functioning as intended. They told me they aren't actually fog lights, they're dtrl's like others have pointed out to me. I can never tell how much truth I'm hearing at the dealership, though.

Send a picture so we can end the confusion. I'm guessing they are the DRLs

If it's the vertical bar of LED's, right above the round light, those are the DRL's.

The bar along the top are the DRL's, the round light is the fog light

The TOP bar should come on when you are moving, that's correct. The BOTTOM light should not, and if it is, and the stalk is turned off, something is busted.

Horizontal, not vertical.

But anyways, I still can't really see why this is a thread.

Wow, 90% of the tread posters assume that OP is a stupid hobo. Must be annoying.

Driving around day or night, with my lights set to off or auto, my fog lights are shining bright.
DRLs go off at night, people.

Sounds like a genuine problem. I think your Fog light relay is stuck in ON position. There's no easy way to access it, so take it to the dealer.

Well, as much as I'd like to say they were wrong to assume I'm a stupid hobo, they're not. It's the horizontal bar, I just couldn't tell correctly when seeing it through the reflections of other folks cars. You're right though, generally people should not treat others like they're idiots -- I just happen to be a genuine idiot.

Still, my DLRs are staying on at night so I'm going to take that in to get it looked at.

Thanks for the assistance, folks!

Not if the headlights are off.

The DRL stay on if your parking lights are on but not your headlights. (I believe.). I'm not actually sure now at night... I've read you can't have your headlights, fog lights, and DRL on at the same time. You can run your parking lights ("halo's") and DRL at the same time.

You never even looked at the lights?

Nope, the one time I tried, I put it in neutral, pulled the e brake, stepped out and nothing was on.

DRLs turn off when the parking brake is applied.
