Useful for asshole pricks tailgating you and in situations of fog, of course.

Anyone know of a post that has photos of the changes needed to the light switch on a 2010 or 2011 car?

My site won't go down, if it did I can always move the site to a dedicated VPS. So far that has never been required for the last few years. The only reason I do not post pdf's is I do adjust the instructions from time to time as I get more info, reports any issues, or fix typos, etc.

Bottom button. Lower right button from the main light switch. I'll add a new image a little later today to indicate that.

No prob, I do it as a hobby when I have free time, like when my kid is sleeping. LOL.

Also second image on the DIY updated with arrow showing which button it is.

I gotta do this on my new M3 , just for fun.

How about front brake lights for when I am in reverse with someone in front of me? How do I know they won't start to back up too, and ram into me? Hey you never know.

Also, driver and passenger window wipers, helpful for rain drifting and finally I need to open my hood from the fob. Are you listening BMW?

By the way I was 100% serious. In case you thought there was any sarcasm in there, there honestly wasn't. Zero.

Congrats are in order. That's one of the best DIY's I've seen. Ranks up there with the ones for the e46 on Mike's madrussian .net/m3 site. Very well done, so thanks.

I am now the proud owner of a 2011 M3 with no front fog lights......... But I got rear ones baby, now to fit the 1 million candle power bulbs into the rear lens for optimum effect!

elp_jc · 03-08-2011, 07:24 PM

I have the euro switch, but that DIY couldn't be simpler. Are older switches the same? Can't figure out what lego pieces were for, but never read those DIY instructions to be honest, since I wanted a factory look

There is so many in SoCal I'm forced to run the fog lights all the time...

Thank you for the DIY! I'm going to attempt it tonight. I was turning the rear fogs on with my laptop but now I can use the button!
