Are you saying they blink continuously? Or just once?

Then with the fog lights switched on, they stay on all the time?

It's a little unclear what your situation is.

Are the headlamps standard equipment, or were they replaced with some sort of LED replacement?

There are many posts on this forum regarding issues people have had with self installed LED angel eyes causing issues like you describe.

They repeatedly blink while headlights are on ( only low beam )... but if I switch on fog lights they stop blinking. As far as I know they are original lights.
Not sure how I could check to see if they were replaced ?

If you are able to take a short video, or pictures, and post it here it would help. It sounds to me that someone has replaced the bulbs with a third party setup. This is not what would be considered standard behaviour for the factory equipment by any means.

I had the same issue on my car, but I had Xenons and no fog lights. The low beam would start flashing after about 10-20 seconds of driving. Replacing the bulb fixed my issue.
