Rear Foglight
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I own a 2021 American X5 X-drive 40i. A rear fog light is required in Germany. |

Looking into this as well for an F96 but:
- there's no wire available for the fog light - it seems like tedious to install - we need to change the command buttons in the front as well Another thread spoke about that and majority said to settle for no fog light due to complexity. Will that be accepted by German inspection though ?! |

Try 914er's build thread.

Thanks. I've been following his thread. It appears that his bmw will be in the USA prior to requiring the rear fog so he has ditched the effort. My car will be at bmw next week because of a crash. The lead mechanic will research this for me.

Hi, as per AE Reg 190-1 DTD 18 June 2020, C10. Lights, c. Fog lights are not required. Not sure where you got the info. Unless this is new. Please correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct, I just mentioned it because your post says you have an American car (usareur plates). I just can guess you want to change your car from us specs to German specs, correct? If so, let me know how it works for you as I might try to do the same in 3 years. Cheers!

Hey folks... sorry for the late response. I rarely log in here anymore.
In short... you can buy oem rear foglights... but you'll need to wire them to an aftermarket switch.

I think it's great that rear fogs aren't available in the US, since drivers here are clueless as to when and why to use fog lights. The few Audi's that have them the drivers leave them on all the time, just like the fronts. So annoying.
Drivers here put 6000K bulbs in fogs. They leave them on all the time. They code them to work with the high beams on. No wonder some cars here don't have front fogs now either. |
