This is what happened when we have too much time to pick a part each and every single details about the RC. This is a non issue. Wait until the final reveal.

Can't remember the last time I used fog lights for their intended purpose. Nowadays, good quality low beams do a much better job.
When I turn on my fog lights, they work in conjunction with my low beams, and they light up a much wider area, and are great for dark highway driving. The won't work in conjunction with high beam, but when you have to go to low beam, they provide a wider range of light. I keep them on all the time since I like the wider field of view.
The Model S and X turn signals are below the headlights near the foglights. The DRLs remain on when the turn signals are on, and the same appears to be true for the Model 3 based on the burst images of the blue prototype.I think we haven't seen enough to judge; I've found that most fog lights make only a marginal improvement, but I deal with snow more than fog.
Slightly off topic, there's something I've noticed lately in cars with LED DLRs, that bugs me, but maybe there's a reason for it: when the LED DRLs are the outer rim of the lens assembly, the one on the signalling side turns off when the turn signal is on. I think it looks really weird, like the light is broken. Do model S and X do that? I assume it's to increase the visibility of the indicator, but I'm more distracted by the asymmetric DRL.
There is debate about this as not all the RCs have that configuration and we know that what you labeled as DRL can be both white and yellow.Are we in agreement that this is the light configuration, or is there some debate about this?

NopeHow could any of us possibly know given no production car has yet been built and no one here has seen a 'mule' in person?
@dndcruz , I'm curious - -are you shorting TSLA?
It makes me curious whether the yellow mode of the top light is for fog? I recall on a Leaf forum, some people were adamant that fogs have to be yellow, white fogs are not really fogs (i.e., not effective for actually penetrating fog).There is debate about this as not all the RCs have that configuration and we know that what you labeled as DRL can be both white and yellow.
Didn't realize they were so small, but if these are the fog lights on the X...Saw Model X about 2 days ago in Southlake with rear turn signals like in European model
(starts at 1m 17s mark)
I.e. thin horizontal LED strips of amber colour. Seemed to be adequate. If Model 3 would have similar turn signals (back and/or front) I'd be OK with it.
I think that would be way too high off the ground to be an effective fog light. should be much closer to the ground to be useful.It makes me curious whether the yellow mode of the top light is for fog?

I assume so as well.Didn't realize they were so small, but if these are the fog lights on the X...

then I would think these are the fog lights for the 3.

That's what I was mentioning above. I happened to be at a light with a line of oncoming left-turning traffic yesterday, and noticed a Mercedes doing this, so I remembered to pay attention and got to compare a bunch. Of the rest (Toyotas, Acuras, a BMW), the only ones with LED DRLs were an i3 and an Acura. Neither of them dimmed the DRL on the side with the blinker on.In EU some manufacturers reduce/remove DRL white to add contrast to blinker of that same side.
