Default Fogs + Automatic Headlights?

Just wondering if anyone knows a way to have the fog lights turn on with the automatic headlights? Coming in to the winter season, I like to have my fogs on while driving through snow to help me see the tracks in the snow better. I'd rather that the fog lights were just always on instead of having to turn it to the driving lights and then pull out once.

Can you set it for DRL? Otherwise that is the only way that I know of to turn fogs on.

Default Question on that...

I have seen where you can set it for DRL, but once the lights come on with the Automatic Headlights, don't the DRL lights go off? Also, I have my DRL lights turned off. No reason to waste gas powering lights during the day for no reason.

hmmmmmm, not sure about that. I wonder if the Canadian setting has the fogs on at all times. Find out on here if you change the lighting using a VAG tool to Canada if the fogs stay on all the time.

But you will have them on during the day also. If you just want the fogs to turn on with your headlights, you have to do it with the switch.

Default I have a VAG, I may try your Canada setting suggestion.

I'll give it a shot and see what it does. If it just effects the DRL, then I have a DRL switch on my B7, so I can just turn that on and off without messing with the auto-headlights at all. The reality is, when winter hits and I'm trudging through snow every day for about 4 months straight, I want the lights on anyway even if it is day time.

Default If I remember correctly, the Canada setting has the fogs on all the time.

Post the question in the Canada regional forum, if there is one.
