Might just be my car but when I go into reverse my front fogs also seem to come on.

Any reason for this or are they wired wrong?

I could be wrong about this, but I believe it is an automatic feature that they come on when reverse gear is selected. They also come on when cornering at speeds above 18mph or so, that is the left foglight if steering left, right foglight if steering right.

Mine does the same. I think it's a "feature". Not sure why it's a good idea, but that's the way it works.

No idea why it happens but it does. It’s no big issue really but a bit strange.

Time for some investigation.

The internet is full of the same question. Seems it’s to light up the front so you can see where your wings are heading.
