Fog lights, do they work or are they just for SHO?

Hey everyone, I have a 2013 sho without the PP. Ever since i got it about a year ago I noticed I can’t get the fog lights on the bottom of my bumper to turn on. When digging through the forums i couldn’t find anyone who had the same issue, and the owners manual wasn’t any help either. Is there any way for me to get these bottom lights on? i’m confused because all my other lights work fine and i can’t find any more controls for lights anywhere. Are they just there for show?

The DRL (Daytime Running Lamps) is a programmable parameter for this vehicle. Left hand menu - scroll through Vehicle

I appreciate the response, but when i look in the left hand menu i don’t see anything for a DRL or in my head unit, any other options to get them on or am I troubleshooting something now?

to add to this, in each fender, turn the steering wheel to access the three or maybe 4 screws in the fender well. then peel back the splash panel and check if they are plugged in.

Were they disabled in ForScan? Is there voltage to them? You can also replace them with Drive Bright.

Also, as another note, they are DRL/accent lights. Do not expect much light from the stock units. They will not put out anywhere near as much as a fog light will. They are basically useless in stock form.

Lol, sometimes it is as easy as that.


Most of the times with this platform...it isn't.
