OK SO CAPS LOCK IS THE ONE ABOVE THE SHIFT KEY AND BELOW THE TAB KEY...
Nah seriously though, the park lights should come on when the headlights go on and they should get brighter when you press the switch. Simple as that.
The fog light work without the headlights on (this may be confusing you) and it is not affected by high and low beam.

yep elmo is right.....

fog lights should be yellow, if not, then just test it out by turning your headlights on. Your parkers will be on, so keep pressing the foglight button, and see if it is going on and off.....

if not, maybe the light bulb is dead/

i have the same problem... the other possibility would be similar to me...

i have a seal problem where my light case fogs up and may have caused some wiring porblem or somesort... so it may have fused some part..

what an irony.... my fog light has fogged! hahaha and now it dont work! haha

im getting it fixed and hopefully it will fix the problem.

They are basically driving lights unless you use yellow globes and lenses, then they become fog lights, which you prob only need twice year pending on wjhere you live.
I put those brilliant blue globes in mine and work really good as spotties, but can only use em when really deserted.
Maybe someone put the globes back the wrong way around or something?
or the plugs are mixed up at the back??
Can you get the other set to come on at all?
So the park lights come on when you press the fog light switch??

Elmo,
did you put those Phillips blue vision globes into your foglights to use as "driving lights" ? Sounds good if I'm reading that right. Do you know which coded globes they are, might try it myself.
cheers
