Fog Lights Always On - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

aranami · 07-02-2013, 12:03 AM

My fog lights are always on -- except when I turn the rest of my lights on. Driving around day or night, with my lights set to off or auto, my fog lights are shining bright. Is this working as intended? Am I missing something?

I apologize if this has already been addressed, but I could not turn anything up in search.

Look at the second dial switch on the stalk..(just inside where you turn lights on/off) that switch controls the fog lights

There is a separate control on the stalk for the fog lights. Make sure that's not on.

aranami · 07-02-2013, 12:20 AM

Right, that's set to off. o = off, right?

Correct. If they're still on then you have a problem. Try the stealership.

Will do, thanks!

But what is the point of being able to set the switch to off if it doesn't turn the lights off?

they help lower your insurance by staying on. and the switch only works for when you have your headlights on.

Aha! Thank you much!

Those are not fog lights, they're the DRLs.

They do nothing for insurance, however. They just annoy oncoming traffic.

Much like fog lights, now that I think about it.

joop1987 · 07-02-2013, 04:29 PM

Another option is buy techstream for $25 and turn it off DRL yourself.

The lights you're talking about, are they rectangular or round?

If rectangular, they are your LED daytime running lights. This is normally on with the headlights off.

If round, they are you halogen fog lights. This is not normally on with the headlights off.

They're the round ones... so they are fog, and they aren't supposed to be running when I have them set to off?
