    E38 Euro fog light switch

    I have a 1998 740il and I want to add angel eyes to my head lights. I hear there is a euro OEM fog light switch you can buy that will allow you to have angel eyes on or off or fog lights on or off. It seems it has four settings rather than the standard on/off. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY THIS, CANT SEEM TO FIND IT ONLINE!!!

    Does anyone reccomend a certain angel eye kit or head light assembly that is bright enough for daytime use, at a reasonable price.

    Thanks!!!

    Have BMW order it. I've got one on the way for a 318Ti; it replaces the 2 position switch with a 3 position. Not too sure if it's what I want though; the parts guy didn't really know if it will run fogs or angel eyes seperately or what....

    I had my angel eyes hooked up to a switch. Ended up hooking them to the DDL because you'll want them on all the time anyway. Think about it; when will you want them off?

    The operation of the UK fog light is the same as the sidelight/headlight switch-at the first position the rear fogs are activated, at the second position the fronts are activated as well. So a headlight switch might do what you want as well.

    US doesn't have rear fogs enabled. Use of headlight Dwight is a bit different in North America as opposed to UK or EU
