Installed European Headlight Switch
The European Headlight Switch that I ordered back in Dec. finally came in. It transforms the lights in the tail gate to work on a button in the light switch. They now have a usable function. I thought it was a waste to have them come on only when the ABS brake system engaged in a panic stop. It took a while to get the switch delivered but I am very happy I got it. Got it from "ECS Tuning" for $149 with free shipping. A bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. Took about two minutes to install, very easy. I recommend it.

I can't seem to upload pictures. It is telling me they are too big and I don't know how to make them smaller. SO, if you go to the website of ECS Tuning they have a good instruction page that shows just how easy it is to install the switch with a good picture of the switch. When the fog lights are on they are bright like a brake light.

I also have the switch. I use it when it's raining hard out and if people follow me too closely at night. I need to get the reverse lights in led that doesn't produce any error codes. If you know any good ones please provide the link. Thanks!

I think it can be done without buying the Euro switch. The only difference will be that the button that does not work prior to the mod will not have any icon on it - will be still plain black (not a big issue). Here's the DIY for a e9x, similar for the f25.

By any chance does your Euro switch have two thumb wheels to the right of main rotary switch? BTW, my X3 has halogen headlights and arrived with a blank (not a fake button) in the lower left (where Euro rear fog light button would be).
