I figured that fogs might be a requirement somewhere in the world (ie EU) and was wondering how fogs were done in those situations. I guess they just do not need them anywhere in the world (except for rear fogs). Thanks. |

I agree. The chrome/aluminum look on the 09' switch is too glitzy for me! I don't even like the chrome/aluminum accents on the 09' cup holders either. I do, however, like the 09' starter button ring better than the 08's.

Side note my parents had no idea what it even was until I showed them, so I can see why most manufactures don't bother with making it DOT compliant.

In Europe and other countries adhering to UN Regulation 48, vehicles must be equipped with one or two bright red "rear fog lamps" (or "fog taillamps"), which serve as high-intensity rear position lamps to be energised by the driver in conditions of poor visibility to enhance vehicle conspicuity from the rear. The allowable range of intensity for a rear fog lamp is 150 to 300 candela,[15] which is within the range of a U.S. stop lamp (brake light).[6] For this reason, some European vehicles imported to the United States have their rear fog lamps wired as stop lamps, since their European-specification stop lamps may not be sufficiently intense to comply with U.S. regulations, rear fog lamps are not required equipment. However, they are permitted, and are found almost exclusively on European-brand vehicles in North America — Audi, Jaguar, Mercedes, MINI, Land Rover, Porsche, Saab and Volvo provide functional rear fog lights on their North American models. The final generation Oldsmobile Aurora also had dual rear fog lights installed in the rear bumper as standard equipment |

So, BMW has the choice to enable them, but does not. When I read your first comment this morning I thought it was odd because my Porsche has the rear fog light enabled.
I've been searching for a switch for the last couple of days and am not having much luck. I'll keep looking for a while and if that fails I'll have a friend in Europe send one to me. Anyone seen any US sources recently? What I'm finding is that they're listed on websites, but they're "special order" and when they try to order the part they get rejected.

Thanks. I ordered one. Now we'll see if they can get hold of it. It might take a while to find out, as they claim to be backordered until September.

I got the switch from ECS tuning and it's a simple swap and voila, no coding necessary.

Looks like my switch will arrive tomorrow - should I disconnect the battery when switching over the connection?
