I know the lights are there from the factory and I have access to the Euro-market switch to enable, but before I pick up the switch I wanted to know if the rear fogs require any programming?
As a former MINI R53 owner, I know that BMW product required updating via software to enable the rear fogs. So, I thought it worth checking to see what the hassle might be on a E90.

Buy an Audi.....the switch for rear fogs is beside front fog switch. ...so if it's a SEPARATE switch, why do I keep seeing Audis with their single rear fog turned on ALL THE TIME - even when it's not raining or snowing? ![]() |

Are you all buying the switch for $140? I cannot justify that much just to enable those rear lights

I bought my switch used from another member.
I think there's also a DIY on here somewhere about modifying the existing switch in order to enable the rear fogs. |
