Default New XK 07 Owner of a 80k mile cat. Quick questions for you guys?

I purchased my 07 XK yesterday in almost mint condition but noticed my front fog lights were not working when I got the car home 5 hours away. I still have an extended warranty left on the car up to 100,000 miles. But I'm sure there is a thread here that can point me in the right direction. I love the way the car rides and handles. I will post a pic after I get her cleaned up a bit. Last question when I back up is there only suppose to be one back up fog light on the right side that turns on or should both lights be on? The ones above the brake lights?

On your model you have one reverse light and one back fog light. As for the front fogs, check the fuses first or the switch.
If you have just bought it surely you checked they were working.

Either way, welcome to the forum.

If you search here, you'll find several discussions of the fact that the '07-'09 models have a single backup light (on the passenger side) and a single rear fog light (on the drivers side). These lights are on the 'inner' taillights (on the trunk lid), the 'white' area above your brake lights, are your amber turn signals.
As for your front fogs, make sure you have some other front lighting active before turning on the fogs, they won't turn on by themselves.

Congrats on your purchase, and welcome to the party!

Thanks and your right I should have checked but didn't, was making sure I got the price right shortly after the test drive smh. I checked everything else but the lights.

Another quick question in regards to the the bluetooth connecting with my Samsung note 5. I've ready the bluetooth post but with my situation the phone connects i can dial out and also here the incoming call but the person on the other end cannot hear me talking. Is there a workaround for this issue?

You probably already know this, but the headlights must be on for the fog lights to come on.

Both my front fog lights came on and the just one in the back. Headlights have to be on. Not sure if Auto (while on) worked.

Fog lights working fine. It would help if I had pressed the button for fog lights :-). Mine also work in auto mode but I still have to press the button to turn them on. Looks 10x better with the fog lights on.
