    On euro cars the rear fogs are controlled by the same switch for the front fogs. There isn't a separate switch for the rears. This is how it is on my car, although I live in Australia I am quite sure it's the same for actual European cars in Europe.

    There is a thumb-wheel for the brightness of my dash display next to my fog switch.

    It is the same on Euro cars. The separate switch is for the rare "James Bond" passenger ejector seat option. Careful with it...

    No no no! That's different, it's actually what top-gear uses to make their E34s remote control! Vroom vroom!

    my thumb wheel for dimming the dash lights is next to my headlight switch, on the left side of the steering wheel. the fog light switch is on the dash on the right side of the wheel.
