Buy the correct switch, install the wire, and you too will have Rear Fogs on your E70.

Took me about 45 minutes to figure out what to do and to get it done.

I bought my switch here, be sure to order the correct one, for your vehicle options:

95wildtt, do you have pics? You have become the guru on this topic! I modified my E92 for euro fogs, but haven't done my E70 yet! I think they are an essential safety feature, particulary since tailgating is like a way of life here, even in low visibility.

And, forgive me if I'm being dense, but I didn't understand what cable I need. Is it a standard one I could pick up at my local auto parts store? You mentioned using the #1 connector from the diagram in the link, but that didn't make sense to me as did not look like a connector. Thx!

I may pick up the part in Europe (I hope I have the right P/N) to save a few bucks. $160+ is a little steep.
