Rear fog lights only. It is a legal requirement to have at least one (either on the car's centre line, or on the side of the car nearest the road's centre line).

Front fog lights, which were never legally required, are no longer needed - as the new wide flat design of the LED dipped beam on the EX30 performs the same function as the old low-mounted flat beam front fog lights of old.

I disagree, if you have to drive the EX30 in fog you’ll discover that the dipped beam does not performs as well as low-mounted fog lights. And when you glance at the road while you’re fumbling around the various screens and menus trying to find where to turn on the rear fog lights it’s nice to have as good a view forward as possible.

Driving home tonight I came in to a thick bank of fog causing me to slow down to around 20 miles an hour...The last thing on my mind was to fumble through menus to activate the fog lights...I don't like to keep moaning as the car is great to drive but this is a proper safety issue, shaking my head emoji not available...

My front lights seem OK in fog, a lot better than old fashioned dipped headlights anyway.

And I agree, the switch for the rear fog lights should always be on the display screen not deep in the menus

I’d also love for the 360 camera to be full screen rather than just in the corner - like it is in Polestars and the new EX90.

...and if for some inexplicable reason it is impossible to put a shortcut on the screen to the fog lights...maybe they should let Google Assistant allow turning on the lights. OK, I can understand that for security reasons it doesn't allow turning them off...fine, but turning on the lights "by accident" can never be dangerous.

You would think expanding the voice activation control set would be an answer to many of the issues raised. I can see the safety angle but a confirmation press of the ok button on the steering wheel should be enough to keep the lawyers happy.

Not sure if it's because we only have a Plus model but lights for the vanity mirrors, but more essentially a light in the glovebox. The glovebox is pretty useless as it is so shallow but we can fit in some papers etc. Just opening it in the dark is a pointless task as you cannot see much inside it. Just wish it did not require a button on the screen to open and just a normal lever as it is quite literally 3-4 inches from your hand/steering wheel.
