Rear Fog Lights

I noticed today that only one rear light was working?
It was on the drivers side.
As like most modern vehicles today do I only get one functional rear fog light or has one on the passenger side blown?

Reflector/rear fog light combo.

One side depending on region and left/right-hand drive (eg, UK - left, HK - right) or none (eg USA)

Thanks for the reply.
So there is only one rear fog lamp.
In the UK this is located on the right side.

Yeah….they do a poor job of explaining this in the US. My last couple two vehicles (GLE AMG & CLS AMG) had this feature and I was sure if one side was not functioning properly or not and had to cruise three miles to the dealership for the service manager to explain to me that's how it's supposed to work. It's never time wasted when cruising by my local Mercedes dealership as they always have a variety of fresh bagels, fresh coffee and donuts for their guest. Only regret I have about leaving the brand. My local BMW dealership has free coffee only

It’s so you don’t confuse it with a set of brake lights that are on…
