It's Days like this - Rear Fog Lights

On Nasty days like this on the Northeast, it much of a diff. lighting wise goes from a safety perspective. I was behind for a good part of my route and I could clearly see him whether from 1 car away to even 10 cars away due to the *higher intensity* of the rear fogs he had on.....

This shall be on the next Mod list for sure !

Most european car have rear fog lights why is it that the X5 does not?

Do BMW's that are made outside the US come with them?

Yeah, they are nice. My Disco has them and they work great. You would think they would just put in on the US ones as well.

So I imagine you (aka us US spec people) can just switch out the light switch and add some bulbs to the rear panels. What about the dash indicator?

The rear fog lights are also very good for freaking out tailgaters.
