Default Flash to Pass when headlights are off

FYI in case you did not know - when the headlights are off, if you pull back the turn signal stalk, you flash the fog lights. Just noticed this today...

Hmm.. I'll have to try that. I pass sooo many cars I should at least notify them of what's about to happen :

Also if you leave the fog lights on when the headlights are up. Then when the headlights are down the fog lights are on and not the front turn signal runing lights. With no idication that the fogs are on till you turn the headlights back on.

More trivia - the fog lights turn off when you engage the high beams.

Yeah, but you hardly notice those stock fog lights. Why do you think it took you so long to learn this?

Changed my fogs to PIAA 1100's... Don't even use the normal headlights... Much less wear and tear on the headlight motors.. Don't even miss the old headlights... They finally got it right on the C6...

In my Z06 (w/o foglights), the headlights won't raise. Kinda dumb, if you asked me. Headlights will still flash.
