When turned on, the rear fogs have a separate indicator light on the dashboard.
As always the stig is right, i just checked. For some reason in my first picture it looks like the top bar is lit up but it isn't, its just the LED strip making it look like that top portion is lit up(because of a crappy camera).

Rear fogs are pretty kickass for getting rid of close tailgaters since they act like rear high beams.

Garage List
2008 BMW 128i  [10.00]
I should mention that my 06/2008 Halogen car with Xenon Blacklines works 100%, with one difference. The LED's do not stay on UNLESS you turn the light switch for night time driving. OR Auto switches on. Before it used to stay on all the time with original preLCI lights

I noticed this behaviour recently. I think it can be coded to stay on all the time as a regular Xenon car.

POST LCI cars with Halogens may need some harness. A $150 extra, I dont knwo what the Part number is.

Oh and Rear fogs are awesome...and now that I have seen F2x inperson... E82>F2x
