Empty hole will gaze at ya:

Unsnap the cable and remove the trim piece.

Use a Torx screwdriver to remove four screws from the US switch. I think it was T20, or smaller, I know T25 was too big.

Side by side comparison:

Assemble it, and you get this on your dash:

And voila:

Rear fogs in action:

Comments welcome!
Awesome mod! You Sir, are a pioneer in the X3 modding process...and I'm following in your footsteps. Just did the mod tonight. Took all of 2 mins to install. Wish all mods were that simple.

What's up next for you? ECU tune, exhaust???
