Give your BMW REAR FOG LIGHTS!

Hazard83190 · 04-07-2010, 01:46 AM

A few basic steps needed to give you car new fogs, and one part needed.
Euro Switch product No. 61316932796 which can be bought at http://www.ecstuning.com/Search_BMW/...796/ES1866753/
for 119.95.

Step one: Remove the trim over your OEM switch on the left of your steering wheel.
Step two: Remove the peace that holds the OEM switch in place and disconnect the wire from the back.
Step three: Replace switches
Step four: Put everything back in place and you will have rear fog lights

PS I will post pictures by the weekend.

Well I was looking on the threads that had this and none of them told people where to buy the part, and after 2 hours of searching I finally found it. So i figured I'd just let everyone know where to get it. Sorry about reposting; didn't mean it that way.

Actually, that's a great price for the switch. Next cheapest I found was for $150 plus shipping. Anyone else find anything cheaper? (Besides the home made white rubber thing for the US spec switch)?

I posted a while back that you can use the older switch with a newer car. The pre-2009 switches were much cheaper than the newer ones with the chrome accent. You can simply pop off the selector switches ans swap the chrome one onto the older switch assembly.

Will this work with 2010's?

3abbas · 04-13-2010, 02:37 PM

do you mean that all the E90s have rear fog lamps and wires set up ready .. the only thing missing is just the switch? ..

Hazard83190 · 04-13-2010, 06:04 PM

Well it's not quite rear fog lights, they work as rear fogs but they are much brighter, and will prolly blind the crap out of anyone on the road. I'm not sure about 2010, i'd call BMW and ask if your car can PS GUYS! you can also order the part through BMW for 127 Dollars! just make sure to rush order it or it will take a few months.

you dont have to buy the switch. just a quick home mod and you can save your self some serious money. just take the switch out and with the use of some legos and super glue you can make it work. there is already a few DIY on this site for it! Done in less than 10 min
