Factory Rear Fog switch

[Htraitor]

Does anyone have a picture of where the factory rear fog light switch is located? More importantly what does the switch itself look like?

The rear fog switch is incorporated into the normal fog switch.
I think it is just a two position switch.

What was a trifle confusing for me is that the normal U.S. (front) fog light switch is actually the rear fog light switch which BMWNA had wired to the front fog lights, and why you can't use the latter on a U.S. 'ti as fog lights (i.e. with the headlights off). You might want to fix that if you are modifying the car for driving in thick fog.

I used a second headlight switch to run both the fogs and the rear fogs.

First pull is front fogs

Second pull is the front and rear.

This winter I actually got to use them as designed as my headlights completely iced up in a snow storm and I had to turn them off and continue on using the fogs.. I am sure the rear saved me from being rear ended as well
