Default Fog Lights?

I read that the fog lights were incorporated into the headlight module. I'm assuming that they are the stacked LED array at the outboard sides of the headlight.

I assume that since I haven't seen those LED's lit up on any of the videos. Anyone know for sure?

I'd expect the illuminated line along the bottom called the "fog light". the term "fog light" is a very ambiguous term, and in these multi-functional headlights, there is no real need to identify a separate lamp as a "fog light"

Ummm ok. I believe the illuminated line along the bottom would be the DRL's. Fog lights would be separate lights you could switch on and off.

I think most newer cars with all time running LEDs don't have fog lights. Like on the Benzs, the LED strip is where the fog lights used to be.

Well does anyone know what the 6 LED's on each side of the light assembly do? Turn signals maybe? Are they even LED's?

They are built into the head light fixture. Not sure how or where though.
