Rear Fog Light?
Just gave up my end of lease 2010 335i and picked up my 2013 128i. The former car had a little know feature - a rear fog light, that could be activated by a modification of a "dummy" button under the front fog light button on the light switch component. Does anyone know if this is also the case with the 1 series?

Yes, all new bmw's have this feature. You can either modify the headlight switch (ie the "lego mod") or you can buy the euro headlight switch which has the rear fog light switch built in.

Seems to me someone on this board said the newest switches have all the parts internally - that you don't need to do a Lego mod anymore. Do a search to find out.

Did you install the correct one>? There are MANY headlight switches.
You need to know IF your car has: rain sensor, AHL and xenon. There are EIGHT different headlight switches for your car! http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...93&hg=61&fg=35
