Do your fog lights come on when you unlock with remote?
My '08 GT/CS will unlock with the remote and, at the same time,the fog lights come on. My friend's '06 GT doesn't do this. Is there something wrong with his car or is this one more difference between model years? If so, when did it change?

For '08, the headlamps turn on when unlocking the doors with the remote UNLESS you have HIDs. With HIDS, the fog lamps turn on. For '05, no exterior lights turn on (bummer).

My 06 only the interior map light turns on, I wish an outside light would come atleast the turn signals.. with my tint it's hard to see if that interior light came on. I hope theres an option somewhere but I doubt it.

That is exactly what my friend's '06 does. Maybe that is all you might get in the '06's. It would be nice to turn that feature on somehow on the '06 car.

My 07 GT's lights came on when unlocked via the fob. I disabled it as per the instructions in the owner's manual. Look up the perimeter lighting feature.

As Willie said, it has to do with the HID head lights, at least for the 2007-2008 cars, that should NOT be flipped on and back off, it is not good for them, you are not supposed to flash to pass with them either.
My 2008 HID GT500 turns on the fog lights with the unlock, not the HID headlights. Two different friends 2007 GT500's without HID's turn their headlights on not their fog lights with the unlock.
My 2008 HID Bullitt with NO FOG lights turns on the parking lights with the unlock, not the HID headlights....
