Any reason for this or are they wired wrong?


Completely normal. Neighbour's VW Polo does that.

I meant just on the Puma, I've never had it before, but the rep at the dealer told me about it when I picked up car. He'd had a Puma for a couple of months.

I got a bollocking once (admittedly many moons ago) off a jobsworth copper for driving round with front fogs on because I thought it was cool :lol:

Back in the day eh? The foolishness of youth... :D
I never understand people who have their fog lights on and just forget them. People seem to put them on at the slightest whiff of mist. We don't get the fogs of yesteryear, especially in cities, I can't remember the last time I physically turned on my fog lamps.

Turning on fog lights is so rare I have to search for the buttons and then cannot work out which one is the front and which one is the back!

Haha, yep though I doubt they would do anything these days, used to be hot on that kind of thing along with non-legal lettering on numberplates but seems a free for all now. New Fiestas will have them built in to the headlights so if that’s the new fashion they’ll be tricky to spot.

My wife drove back in the fog just before Christmas, said it was bad. 30 min later we went out again and she said it had cleared a bit. I told her it hadn’t I just had the fog lights on, she didn’t know where the switch was.
