I've got a fully specced XC60 T8. On my lighting stalk, I have two buttons that look like fog light buttons, but only one of them turns on an icon in the dash, and the manual only mentions read fog lights.

Are there front fog lights? Do I need to do something else to turn them on?

Really, I doubt I'll ever use them, as front fog lights are generally not very helpful, its just bugging me that I have the button!

 

I have a 2019 T6 Momentum. The turn signal stalk has the 2 buttons also but it does not have the front fog lights so the one button does nothing. The other button turns on the single fog light located on the rear hatch door on the driver side.

Rear fog light
The rear fog light is considerably brighter than
ordinary taillights and should only be used to
help other road users see the vehicle when visibility
is reduced by conditions such as fog,
snow, smoke or dust.
Rear fog light button.
The rear fog light consists of a light on the rear
of the vehicle on the driver's side.
The rear fog light can only be used when:
• ignition mode II is active and the lighting ring
is in position or
• the lighting ring is in the position and
the front fog lights are on.
Press the button to switch on/off. The
symbol in the instrument panel illuminates when
the rear fog light is on.
The rear fog light turns off automatically when:
• the ignition is off or the lighting ring is in the
position.
• the lighting ring is in the position and
the front fog lights are turned off.

 

T8s cannot be equipped with front fog lights.

 

why can't T8s have fog lights?

 

I don't know where you are located but I just built a car on the Canadian Volvo website and fog lights ARE available on the T8.

 

Unless something changed for the 2020 or XC60, part of the hybrid cooling system is in the area and fog lights would impede air flow.


Additionally, I just went to the Volvo Canada site and built a 2020 XC60 Inscription T8. No fog lights listed in standard features and didn't see a place to add them.

 

When you are building the Volvo, after selecting Inscription, if you select the button to View Standard Features, you will see under Exterior, Front Foglights.

 

Right, because on an XC60 Inscription, you get fog lights. Not on a T8 though. Build a T8 and then look for fog lights at the end, you won't see it.

 

I did do the build for a 2020 Hybrid Inscription T8 (base price $73,850....the non hyprid Inscription base price is $59,300) and under standard features it has Front Foglights listed. Go to this link https://www.volvocars.com/en-ca/buil...n|filterHybrid and then on the right hand side select View Standard Features and then scroll down to Exterior and you will see Front Foglights listed.

 

Interesting. I was doing it a different way and did not see that. But if you go through to the end and click View Standard Features from this link https://www.volvocars.com/en-ca/buil...mary?s=B29BAEA the fog lights are not listed.

I am pretty sure it is a misprint on the other screen. I have seen no information that they were changing the layout of any hybrid system components.

 

I'm just going by what I read :-) BTW what is the Exterior Styling Kit package for $1695? That's the only package where they do not describe what it is.

 

No problem, not blaming you for their error.

As for the styling kit, I'm not 100% sure. I'm a technician, I don't sell them.

 

Simply confirming as @EST6T has said, for US 2020 XC60 T8, there are no front fog lights, only one in the rear. I took delivery of my special-ordered Inscription on 12/30, and there is only black filler trim in the areas where front fog lights are on non-hybrid models. It IS confusing as some of Volvo's documentation and configurators lead you to believe they are there -- even my physical 2020 XC60 T8 window sticker shows "LED Front Fog Lights" being included in Inscription Features, but in reality they are not installed on T8.

Exterior Styling Kit is 3 things: Front and Back skid plates, and double tail pipes in the rear. I didn't opt for it myself.

 

Hi mate i have a xc60 T8 Inscription too and i have both fog light buttons but no front fog lights.Mine is a 2018,is yours plugin,hybrid,petrol?
