More likely a DRL style light.

It’s been an ADR requirement that Fog lights must Only come on with Parker lights.

Dash lights is just modern vehicles in general (and a key reason people forget to put lights on at night I’m sure).

I'm not sure that they are fogs as i dont look that closely as i drive by, just noticed no tail lights but dash is illuminated and some minimal lighting on the front.
Noticed this on a few different vehicles.

It will be fools with DRLs thinking they’re safe but completely forgetting they have no rear lighting.

The idiots leave the extras on all the time when driving in built-up areas. Some even have them on during the day, thinking that they are a safety measure while not realising that all they do is dazzle the oncoming drivers.

Can't see how properly aligned fog lights with that sharp cutoff can dazzle anyone, day or night?

I'll go on record here stating that I have never been dazzled by factory fitted fog lights from any vehicle. Perhaps I'm disregarding another current perception, being that I should be affronted by the ****** who has theirs on when not necessary.

As a matter of fact, I've even got over being affronted by 4x4's with Max Trax, Wallaby jacks and fluoro handled shovels on their rooves in a shopping centre.

Because they reflect UP from the road... directly into driver vision.

On a wet but not foggy or raining road they’re bloody horrible.
