    Hi there...

    Maybe it's a stupid question but... can someone tell me how to put the front circular (fog?) lights on? I'm not a Ferrari owner just yet... but I get the great opportunity to drive a rented F355 once in a while. I ussually take it for some nice trips and some photoshoots then :D:D

    Now I would like to take a few pics with those lights on... but I don't know how to operate them... Stupid isn't it? :eek:
    I'm familiar with all controls except that one...
    I don't have acces to a manual of the car and when I collect the car I'm mostly too excited for driving away... so I always forget to ask :rolleyes:

    Thanks for your help...

    Greets, Alexander

    Hi Alexander,
    these lights aren't fog lights, but a second pair of long distance light.
    They operate only, when you pull the light lever and when the flaps are closed. So you can give someone headlamp flasher, without operating the flaps.

    Well, maybe they are driving lights in other parts of the world, but in the USA version they are fog lights. So says the USA manual pages H3 - H5 (I'm loking at it right now). USA cars do not have the rear fog light feature either.

    Oh yes! I guess a rear fog light isn't neccessary in the US?
    Here in Belgium (I guess all over Europe in fact) rear fog light(s) are permitted by law!
    Maybe the button operates the rear fog lights in only some regions, and the front in others?

    So... US cars have front fog lights and none at the rear?
    And EU cars have them at the rear but at the front they've only got flashers instead? Something like that? :confused:

    So the switch has different functions in some regions. Never thought about that, but it's actually normal when you think about it. With the different regulations and stuff. A bit like those silly reflectors on the sides of US cars. You know we don't have them.

    lol Now the question looks even more stupid in some regions! :D All you US guys and girls with F355's must have been thinking I was on some kinda drugs or something that I couldn't find that switch! lol I guess it has the same fog symbol on it in every version?
