Rear Fog Light Install Observation

phunk · 12-04-2010, 03:14 PM

as much as i love OEMness... i could never justify paying $400 just for a switch to turn on a fog lamp. so many mods to buy before resorting to that sort of cost/benefit ratio.

The fog light power comes from the BCM, I installed a switch to trigger the BCM to trigger the light and it did not work. It seems that the BCM needs to be programmed (consult 3 can module) to trigger this light or the BCM is a different part number. Anyways I eneded up tapping into my taillights and changing the bulb to a 6 watt bulb and now the fog light is as bright as the rest of the tail lights.

Actually the OEM setup (if it worked) would be around 200, less than these switch and harnesses (when the car is pre-wired) wich cost 170+60 plus shipping.

Any word on the factory stalk for fog lap such as canadian or german version. I was wondering if it was succesful and who can provide / procure one
