Dack, do you have a EU spec car? Would you please post a pic with the rear fog light on? Thanks!

What I did was I bought a Euro headlight switch for my US spec car. It wasn't hard to install and that new switch has the extra "blank" or switch for the rear fog lights. No coding is necessary. Here is the thread where I installed the euro switch. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...1&postcount=17 I now have LCI blacklines(and LOVE them!!). I will have to shoot some pics with the rear fogs on. Here is what my Blacklines look like. Really makes the car pop. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=716583 IF your interested in the Euro switch or the Blacklines... you will need to order the parts thru a European dealer(like Schneiderman.com) or ECS in the states.

Ok, so let me ask you, do EU spec BMWs have 1 or 2 rear fog lights?

They have TWO. The inner part of the tail light lights up, when the rear fogs are on. See my pre lci pic - in that first link for the eu switch.

Yup. And drivers over here take pride in only using the fog lights when its foggy or really raining hard. And besides... the Polizei will give you a ticket(payable on the spot in cash!) IF you use your fog lights(front AND rear) at the wrong times.

remember that clearly. Lived in Prague for 3 years and frequently "commuted" between Munich (Freising) and Prague. Got a few unpleasant surprises...

My car is also on it's way so I'd like to know how to turn on fog lights? I suppose there is some signal light for those? If I got right so in Europe both rear fog lights work in new car. But reading your comments about front side markers got me thinking, should I get them on. (suppose those are in the car here) Has anyone a picture of those lights on in 2 coupe? Google didn't show me.. Jep, people from south come here to see snow. And we go south for grill us in beach Yesterday we got 10 cm snow, real 235 xdrive weather here. And my car is ready for me only 220 km away from here |

What the OP in this thread has done in cut the tags on the factory headlight switch, allowing the rear fogs to turn on. This is known as the "Lego mod" on the ! series... Cheap alternative to fog lamp lego mod or buying a euro switch http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=610664 @BMW335iOn18s here is a pic of a e82 lci with the rear fog lights ON!

@reheat, can you post a pic with your car's rear fog lights on? Just to see what it looks like on a EU spec car, since Dack's car is US spec.

It's only 220km from here ready for me. But I register it after new year, so in papers it will be 2015 model. In real i thinks it's 2014 model. Does someone know if it's possible to know cars real model year, for example identification number? |
