Like Fords?

I am talking about when the light switch is in the off (0) position

With you all the way - a LOT more sensible.

I would like both rear fog lights to actually work or if Volvo still thinks that's unsafe then connected so that they swap sides automatically when you switch xenons to dip to the right!

Good idea - which with todays electronics should be so easy to set up.
I must admit I always like to have both rear fogs on if possible - more chance of being seen.................

Perhaps they don't get fog sur le continent! Seriously, this has clearly not been thought through. Why have the ability to switch the headlights over but not to change the rear fog light?

you do! you have to take it to the dealer and they'll change it for you! seriously, i had to have them do it for me. when i bought the car, second hand, it was set up to be driven in europe and the light was on the opposite side. they changed it over for me at the 3 month qai.
