A lot of German cars as well as some other makes sold in Germany have a feature where you can leave the left side parking lights on. This is something people do when the car is parked on a narrow street. There are plenty of those in Europe. In many situations, there is a small curb and you need to park with the right side tires on the curb. This all was my experience more than 30 years ago. There is probably some new tech such as a timer or remote on/off.

Love my foglights. In normal night time driving, they do a fantastic job of lighting the side of the road. And a small number of times I've driven in fog so thick that visibility was better with ONLY the foglights (headlights off).

what i have no tolerance for is plastic inserts where fog lights would otherwise go if they were optioned

the W211 lets you basically do an equivalent of that, something like this:

On my Grandparents Mercedes sedans. The car would do just that after exiting and closing the doors at night, fog lights on plus parking lights for minute.

Fog lights are essential IMO. And then enhance the exterior looks of the vehicle too

Problem I'm trying to solve right now is I can't find a way to have all interior lights off as well so I can drive with my NVGs only. The cluster is always partially lit if the car is on, it causes my tubes to gate down a little far for starless nights.

So an old neighbor left their lights on and in middle of night I went to let him know but I really wanted to tell him is that his wife is cheating on him whenever he’s out of town. Unfortunately when he came to the door, she was right there with him so I never got the chance to tell him. The guy she was cheating with would never park his truck in the driveway and would only show up whenever the husband was out of town. He parked his truck at a vacant lot.

I find they add illumination in the front which is a good thing.
