On my D3R, my offside spotlight seems to be on permanently, and when I switch them on, the nearside one comes on as well. When I switch them off, the offside one remains on. Am I doing something wrong please?

Is it that you have lock on the steering and the ‘cornering lights function’ is being activated? That would switch on the fog light on the side the wheels are pointing and then if you switched on the fog lamps the other side would come on.

Alas BarryH, I do not have the luxury of these!

Do you need to have the convenience pack for the fog lights to come on when cornering? I don’t have the pack, and can’t say I can see them coming on when cornering at slow speeds.

I think it's one of the options in the settings menu which you have to tick/un-tick. Don't think you need the convenience pack but I may be wrong...

I think I may have read that somewhere before too. It’s possibly meant to show up in the Car Functions screen, however I don’t have any option there.

If you have it fitted the option to enable/disable it will be on the functions screen. See attached photo.

Thanks for posting that. As I thought, I don’t have that option. Must come as part of an option I don’t have!
