[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 180691, member: 3452"] US spec E90/91/92's have their rear fogs deactivated. BMW NA have this thing against rear fog lights. Mini owners had to launch an aggressive petition campaign to get them offered (now a $150 option). However, some e90 drivers found out that by retrofitting a Euro spec light switch (dash light switch) we are able to activate the rear fog lights. The Euro switch has an extra button and plugs right in. This simple mod cost $45 plus 15-20 minutes installing (prying interior trim and swapping out the switch). [U]EU / world spec E90s have the rear fogs on both sides[/U]. They use the same bulbs for the adaptive brake lights i.e. when the rear fogs are on, the adaptive brake lights are off. These are extra brake lights not the main brake lights. They supplement the main brake lights in hard/emergency braking (esp when ABS kicks in) The rear fogs can be turned on independent of the front fog lights. I love them a lot, they come in handy when backing up the car, especially when you have dark tints on your rear glass. I've only used them a handful of times in very heavy rain/mist and medium fog. Might come in handy this winter though. [IMG]http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f143/kl2dc/dscn3279_edited.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
