Rear Fog Lights

I seem to remember a post about how to code rear fog lights - after modifying the light switch as in past models - but now can't find it on this Forum or in the Bimmercode thread.

Has anyone done this - or knows how to do this?

Excuse my ignorance, but code them to do what? Or are rear fog lamps not standard for you?

no.

here's a writeup of modifying a US-spec F87 to enable them, to show you what ours looks like

Yes, the switch can be modified. Years ago, that's all it took - no additional coding. Now coding is required as well. and that's what I am asking about, thanks.
