Where is the fog light switch on a Toyota Corolla?

Toyota Corolla's fog light switch is located on the light control lever to the left of the steering wheel. Here is some information about the Corolla's fog lights: 1. The fog light switch is on the inner side of the lever and is controlled by rotation. Turn it up once to turn on the front fog lights, and turn it up twice to the rear fog light position, which turns on both front and rear fog lights simultaneously. Conversely, turn it down to turn them off. 2. The front fog lights can be turned on separately, while the rear fog lights can only be turned on together with the front fog lights and cannot be turned on separately. You can tell whether the fog lights are on by checking the dashboard icons. As long as you see the front and rear fog light indicators on the dashboard light up, you can confirm that the corresponding fog lights are on. 3. When encountering heavy fog, avoid turning on the high beams because fog reflects light. If you turn on the high beams, the light will reflect back into the car, reducing the driver's visibility. 4. It's important to note that while fog lights help make the vehicle or pedestrians more visible, this doesn't mean they can be used at any time, especially when both front and rear fog lights are on. Fog lights are brighter than regular car lights and have strong scattering. If they are turned on unnecessarily, they will only interfere with the vision of other drivers, especially those in oncoming traffic, and in severe cases, may cause accidents.
I've been driving a Toyota Corolla for over five years and noticed the fog light switch is quite consistently located on the left-side lighting control stalk near the steering wheel. You see, there's a rotatable ring at the end of the stalk with fog light icons - front and rear fog lights are usually controlled separately by gently turning the ring. Using them in heavy fog or rainy weather really improves visibility and safety. I recommend practicing the operation right after buying a new car, like testing in a parking lot, to avoid fumbling while driving. Remember to regularly check if the fog light bulbs are working as they have short lifespans and burn out easily - have the mechanic take a look during maintenance. The Corolla's design is quite thoughtful with no complicated buttons, making it easy for beginners to learn quickly. The manual has detailed diagrams, but I rarely bother checking - just figuring it out on the spot takes mere seconds.
