Code BOTH rear fogs to turn on Euro spec G05

Hello...

From the factory, only the drivers side rearr fog is functional. Was wondering if there was an easy way to code Both rear fogs to come on since I can see the hardware is there plus it gives a more symatrical since they don't look like brake lights.

Be great if i can do this via bimmercode.

Unfortunately, the passenger side rear fog light is a dummy. Only the driver side rear fog light as a bulb. So the hardware is not there. I took out the parts myself and had a look. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the update!

Never thought to take it out since they looked absolutely identical.

Question - did you happen to notice if there was a harness to actually connect one by any chance?

No there isn't one; it's just a piece of plastics cover. You can buy the US version where the left side of the car is fitted with the fog light. However you still have a challenge to power it up.
