I like it a lot, nice work, I just wish I could use it with the euro BMW switch and just run a wire to the back hatch like I did on my old VW, but I come to find out that the Trailer wire harness also is needed with that install. You used HID bulbs with the rear fogs? wild man.

Definitely contemplating this even with my own switch one of these days.

Yeah man, we had to find a wire that had consistent power source since most wires were only sending 2-8w voltage,... So it was hard took about 3.5hrs finding it

I wonder if you could theoretically run the wire from the euro switch to the LCM and then use power from that same wire in the glovebox, then run 2 separate wires to the tailgate to power up the bulbs in the rear fog?

would that work? bypassing the Trailer module? hmm....

Euro switch is the best idea

yeah but the question is how to make it work via euro switch without buying the 150 trailer module...

Threw the black kidneys back on and put the Nokya yellows in the fogs.

Filled it to the roof with at least 1,500 lbs of used Snap-on tools.



Crappy nite cellphone pic...but you get the idea. Under the towel is a KRL side box, (just a small component of a very big toolbox, and cost $1,700 new).

Wow 1500 lbs worth of tools? Looks like you are getting ready for some more DYI for 2013
