Dual reversing / fogs - facelift/M rear light

Post by mmm-five » Wed May 30, 2012 8:29 am

Guys/gals,

I've had a search for a how to for this, and read most of the 77 pages I found, but couldn't find the answer.

I know at least one of these lights only illuminates only on one side - but can't remember now which - and am sure I saw a post on here on how to enable it for both sides.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Tony

The fog only illuminates on the right handside, though both come on when the hard braking light system (or whatever it's called :oops: ) activates. Afraid I have no idea how to get both illuminated when you switch the fogs on. AFAIK both reversing lights come on in reverse already.

I saw a post on this in Z post... how to enable both rear fogs to come on... but no idea where it is now.

I personally think a one sided fog light is better... it doesnt confuse people that you are constantly braking!

And on mine both reverse lights come on.

I only ever use foglights when visibility is very bad due to fog/mist/low cloud/smoke/etc., so there should be no chance of someone being confused that they're brake lights - especially as they won't be on/off every few seconds.

Just thought it looked a bit odd that everything else was paired left/right, and that if there was a simple way to have both come on I'd go ahead.
