Rear fog light mod

Ok, I'm board, the game doesn't start until noon and its raining out. saw something on yt showing how to code the rear fog on a 2017 M240, and how to mod the switch also. Anybody here do that? It was this vid.

Well it works, pretty bright too. Useful? Depends. If you want to annoy the guy behind you I'd say yes. Driving in a heavy fog, most definitely. Probably where they got the name "FOG LIGHTS, uh? Killing time before the game starts on a rainy day...FOR SURE!!

Now if I can just get the flashing panic stop to work....

I coded it via BimmerCode. Expert Mode. The rear fog lights are not blinding. Less intense than the rest of the lights. Blinker/break lights.

fog lights true, should be the same brightness as the brake lights
thats why in the UK, we used the fog lights to stop people tailgating us,
when you flashed the fog lights it looked like you were brake checking, without the actual braking

Also driving with fogs during anything but FOG, were intensly irritating as well as a ticketable offence

I wanted rear fog lights they are more useful than front's

But I guess NA doesnt want rear fog's
