US cars can have the rear foglights enabled by replacing the light switch with the Euro version. These are the same lamps already installed as adaptive brake lights. While the rear fogs are switched on, the adaptive brake light function is disabled.

Anyone did it on 2011 328xi with halogens?

I haven't modified my switch yet but I was able to code the rear fog lights as welcome lights!

Anyone?

Has anyone installed this switch with halogen headlights? ECS Tuning recently began selling similar (I have not double checked the part#), but their description refers to Xenon headlights. I'm not sure why the switch wouldn't work equally well with halogen.

Has anyone done this mod on an E91 - 2009 328xi? if so, did it require the spare parts (actuator) or just the tab cutting?

I just pulled the tabs, no need to change out the switch. But I suppose if you want the complete look... but for me it just isn't worth it to mess about with trim pieces and wires.

Did mine today (2007, 335xi), did not have the white piece inside but even so it was very easy to get it to work.

Time between Nate purchasing a car that "he doesn't have to work on or modify" and first modification: apparently, 8 days.

But seriously, I just got my switch from ECS Tuning (because they're the only ones that seem to sell the one with the brushed chrome trim, and I'm just that anal retentive that I want it to look stock) and while it's not the part number that's listed on realoem.com, if there's a difference in color, fitment, etc. I can't see it. Fairly easy mod as far as these things go. Was really nervous taking plastic cutlery to such a pretty car, but managed not to hork anything up.

Edit: apparently the rear fog and front fog are completely independent. As in, I can turn the rears on without the fronts being on. Whatever, I'll only use them in pea soup anyway unlike those Benz drivers :P
