Fog Light question
I have heard that there is a way to solder the LKM to where the fog lights will stay on even when the brights are turned on. I was wondering if anyone knew exactly where you need to solder on the LKM to get this to work? Is there any downsides to this? Thanks!

Well, I live south of Atlanta, GA and there is a lot of deer on the backroads around here. The fog lamps illuminate the sides of the road better than both the low beams and the high. A large deer tore up my prestine 1968 GTO because I did not see him on the side of the road. I am just trying to do everything that I can to avoid that in the future. I know that it sounds kind of pointless, but the fogs do make a difference for visiblitity on the side of the road.

My E34 is the Euro version, and the fogs stay on even with the brights on... draw back... my fogs only come on when the low beams are on. I can't drive with just fogs on. (It's supposedly illegal in some EU countries)
I am not a big believer in the whistles because my girlfriend hit a deer while the whistles were on her car. Then right after she hit one her mom hit one that ran into her car, not just out into the road but into the side of her car. So I don't really believe they do much good.Originally Posted by bimmerd00d

I have a similar question as well... is there a way to rewire MY lkm to allow the fogs to be independent of the low-beams? I want to be able to turn them on when my parks are on.
Mine are that way
If I have the fog light switch turned on and turn my parks on - the fog lights come on with them
