Why do some 2013 s6's have fog lights and others do not?

There are no fog lights. The S6's with what look like fog lights have Adaptive Cruise Control ("ACC"), those are the radar components for the cruise control. The LED lights have all weather lights - effectively using the corner lights to make a wider light pattern in front of the car. Those that look like they don't have fog lights, have no ACC.

Now I am wondering if it would be cooler looking having the radar components on both sides like the S6.
Here is a picture of the front of MonSoonHell being taken apart to install the RS Grill. You can see the radar component on MonSoonHell:
Can you provide photos of yours...just curious what they look like.

No radar module on the lower left of the S4 since it probably would block the hydraulic power steering cooler. S6 has electric steering. I know later S4s now have electric steering, but I figure since they already made it work with one they must have figured no need to add the second in later models. Not exactly sure why the S6 has two vs. the one sensor ACC systems.

I'm also interested to know why the S6 uses two sensors while other vehicles use one. Is one a dummy? Is the ACC in the S6 a more-advanced, stereoscopic version?

The answer is that the system is indeed stereoscopic. It's the same system used in the A/S/RS7 and A/S8, all of which use the dual radar cameras.

It was my understanding that all S6 2013 models were labled 'Prestige'. The difference is in the options chosen. I bot the S6 with the LED headlights. There are both front And rear fog lights as part of the led package. There is also one of my favorite features: with the headlights on (not the brights), and you make a left or right turn, a side led light comes on lighting the direction of your turn.
