Default second setting for light?? huh?

on my 1995 sc400, there is an additional setting after the lowbeams are turned on.

i click it over to that setting, but it doesn't seem like anything happens.

are my fogs supposed to turn on?

or else.. they're busted. i cant seem to get those two lamps to turn on.

In the 95+, the fogs turn on automatically with the headlights. Replace your bulbs, thats the most likely scenario.

on my 97 thers a swtich for them also on the headlight switch. the one for the main headlights is on the outside, and the foglights are on the inside. You turn them towards you in the drivers seat to turn them on.

on my two 95 SC300s, there was a seperate switch on the blinker stalk... it's inset (towards the steering wheel) from the main headlight controls, which are on the end of the blinker stalk.

It sounds like you've found the automatic setting... if you look closely, you'll see a quick flash when your headlights go from "on" to "automatic"

ah I didn't know there was a separate switch. I remember someone complaining that they didn't like how the fogs went on automatically with the headlights, so I figured that was a default setting.

-1 for my misinfo.

It should be the "ring" shaped switch. It's hard to catch if one has never seen it beforethe signal switch because it's camoflaged.
