We have an auto headlight option on the Mini. It was selected as soon as I discovered it and hasn't been off since in four years and 33,000 miles. The front and rear fogs are only manually selectable though with a re-assuring indication within the speedo which mimics their operation.
What I did notice in the fog today is how odd single side rear fog lights look, giving an initial impression a bulb is out. Makes me feel better about the twin fogs I engineered on the Mog despite how little I may use them.
