Panamera GTS foglights???
I have a Panamera GTS. The equipment list lists foglights.
Is this an error? When I pull the light switch, the rear foglight illuminates, but no front foglights exist?
I wonder why Porsche chose not offer real foglights.
My Carrera and my Boxster have them, and as I live in the San Francisco area, fog is a real presence.
Am I missing something???

Since the GTS comes with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) standard, the following text should apply to your car.
From the users manual for 2014-2016 Panamera's - page 87.
"Fog light function
The distribution characteristics of the driving light change when the rear fog light is switched on at vehicle speeds below approx. 37 mph (60 km/h). The light beam becomes wider and reduces glare."
Need to run a test against a wall to see what it does - if it is active when stopped. I know some car functions appear to require a minimum speed to be active.

Translation: With PDLS, there are no front foglights. Their function is incorporated into the main lamps.
