Is it possible to have rear fog lights for US/Can specs G01 without light switch modification?

One of the options: Fog Lights with Parking Lights or High Beams - what does it mean?

The option means that if you have the fog lights on, they remain on when you turn on the parking lights or high beams instead of automatically switching off.

How would you toggle Fogs without switch?

I guess so, I was hoping that it can be linked to the front fog light switch so that it can operate both front and rear fog lights with one switch.

I know not. It may be possible to have some kind of harness to pair them. Personally, I would want a more finished look and be able to control separately. I also do not use my fogs that often.

Right now, front fog lights (or driving lights as some say) are only active if the regular beams are on. Personally, in fog, if the low beams are on the fog lights do not do any good as the low beams just illuminate the fog and create a wall of white.

I like the fog lamps on my Sierra XR4ti - they could be active without low beams and really worked.

Now fog lights are just good at very low speed to illuminate parking lots! So I do not miss them on my M3.

Why would you have high beams and fog lights? No idea. Certainly not for fog. Maybe they attract more deer! (I know it is illegal to hunt with lights). But the car from the factory turns off the fog lights when the high beams are active. Makes sense to me. This code would undo that restriction.

In heavy fog, you would not want high beams and fogs reflecting of thick cloud. But, in some situations it does illuminate roads better. In some ECE-regions, it is standard to allow fogs and high beams.

Thanks for the info. I am really hoping to have the anti-dazzle function enabled. I also would like to have the rear fog lamps and I am willing to pay for the switch. Did that on my M3.

I would have to see if lights can be remapped to allow rear fogs.

My build has S8TRA - "decoding supplementary functions" Any ideas on what might have been decoded?
It also has S5APA which is decoding of the anti-glare high beam assist (high beam assist is active). That should be possible to code.
