xdrive 30d m sport - no front fog lights!?

Hello,

I just purchased a 2014 X5 xdrive 30d with multiple options including m sportpaket. The car is awesome I just can't figure out one thing - it has some kind of lights as where fog lights should be but their output is poor and weird to me. Also inside on the left where I have rear fog button the front fog light button is missing. It's like a blank button there where's fronts supposed to be... Here is the link to what the "fogs" looks like:


What are these lights called? Am I missing something? Thanks

Those are the front fog lights. Also used for turning. Do you have a picture of what the front of your vehicle looks like?

Here the front view of car. In google I saw other F15 fog lights looking much different (not so complex ones).


And this is how I guess the buttons are supposed to be.
But mine top button is simple blank (without icon) and isn't clickable.

Must be due to local regulations.

The clickable buttons i believe are for the rear fog lights that are only available to Europe. I don't quite understand the front fog lights you are talking about but its probably an Europe thing as well.

When my father wanted to order the nightvision package, his salesman said it would take away the use of fog lights.

Do you have the night vision package?

Looks like you have dynamic light spot (it uses the lights where the foglight would be to illuminate people and animals at night)

Yes, I do have the nightvision package. Do you think the dealer could mount the standard fog lights there? It would be much useful for my needs..

No, I don't think that would be possible since the dynamic spot light is part of the nightvision package. You would get errors.

Not to mention the foglights on the X5 are useless in the fog.
