I have a 2011 VW Golf TDI with 7000 miles on it. I just noticed that if I turn on my headlights, the passenger side fog light comes on, but the drivers side does not. If I pull the headlight knob wheel out to turn on the fog lights, then they both are on.

any ideas why this is? I suppose the easiest thing to do is take it to the dealer since this should be under warranty, just thought maybe there was some sort of "easy" fix i could do myself....seems really strange.

EDIT: after some digging through threads, it looks like this is supposed to happen - they turn on depending on the direction your tires are pointed?? Pretty sure my wheels were straight, but I'll do some testing to make sure.
