Why do they make it so you can't just have your fog lights on? Also the interior lights only work if the lights are on too. Pretty annoying. The interior lights are the mood lights for lack of the proper name.

as speeddemon says it's just a big fuse. They are meant to be easy to replace as they do eventually wear out/blow.

Just curious...why do you need the interior lights(you mean the dash/instrument panel lights?) on, when you don't need the headlights?

By mood lights I think he means the led's in the cup holders and foot area. My parent's fusion has it, kind of neat.

Well it only makes sense they come on with the headlights. Why on earth would you want the led's on during the day? You wouldn't even be able to see them

When I am parked at work late at night it would be nice to have the option to use them. And yes the LEDs
