Fog Lights/Cornering Lights?

[Jmuns]

Our 23 OBX doesn't have them. Confirmed fogs were off, turning less than 25 MPH, and there were no cornering lights. Maybe I'll try again near a building but would hope They would be obvious during normal driving on a darkish street.

Do you have to be moving for them to come on, or will simply in drive, turn signal on, wheel turned would it come on in my garage? Seems it should since in the video posted above the vehicle was stopped and it was on.

Shouldn’t have to be moving.

It’s sounding more like it was removed which in my mind is a nothing burger. The car has fog lights, you can see better with them on, why would someone not drive with the fogs always activated?

Off topic but this is something else regarding the fog lights. I noticed when driving at night the fog lights turn off when the auto high beams engage and vice versa. The two switch back and forth so that way there's not too much light coming from the vehicle that will blind drivers. That was a very nice design touch. The cornering lights I have yet to see or just haven't noticed.

It does this by design...i.e., Federal law.

Not sure if my 24 badlands has them I haven’t been able to get them to work. Tired all the ways but not able to get them to work.

Do you have the fogs turned off or on? They need to be off for the feature to work.

Have them off.

Have them off.

Hmm. I haven’t seen anything that the feature was removed and would seem odd to do it. Have you had someone watch as you turn into your driveway at night? Or just watch closely around dark corners. I’m not sure if the turn signal needs activated or if it’s just when the wheel turns beyond X degrees.

I’ll have to keep an eye out. I wasn’t able to add screens to my center screen until I reset all the modules with a capacitor discharge.

I’ve tried everything again tonight and it still didn’t work nothing. Not sure what to do other than have them check module status.

I don’t see any reason to not drive with them on all the time so to me the feature, while nice, is pointless. I’d just turn them on and not worry about it.

For anyone wondering, this feature is 100% a program thing. It could simply be that ford didn't program it properly from the factory.

Get forscan and turn it on if you want them.

I did the opposite and turned mine off because i have after market amber fogs and i didn't want them turning on and blinding people when i turn.

I have a 21 BB, it has them

Thanks. I have a ‘23 BL and I have yet to see them work. I turn the fog lights on and off just to make sure I see the difference in the light spread. It’s very noticeable.

I have a 2024 BL and they do not work like they did on my 21 OB.

So far I haven't seen any 23-24 owner with this feature working properly. Did they really discontinued it?
Looks like the newer the model is, the less features the car has. To me is makes no sense that my 21BB have this and a 24OB doesn't.

That's just compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Fog lights can only be on with marker lamps or low beam. Must turn off with high beam.

Because you look ridiculous driving with your fog lights on when the weather’s perfectly clear and it’s annoying for oncoming traffic
