Driving/fog switch pic request

For the oem driving lights where is the switch? I know of the one switch for the fogs. And for those who put on aftermarket lights would you be able to post a pic of where you put your swtich(s).

PLEASE detail how you got wires from switch through firewall. I see no obvious or simple way.

Thanking you much.

I have an R56 so our engine bays may be slightly different and I'm sure there is more than one way to do this but I used the large grommet going thru the firewall up high on the left (driver's) side of the car. If you open the compartment for the brake fluid reservoir under the hood and peer back into that cavity you can see the grommet with a large bundle of wires going thru the firewall. I attached my wires (3) with masking tape to a 12" section of wire coat hanger (with a smooth blunt end) and pushed them thru the grommet from under the dash. Once the coat hanger (and wires) are inside the brake reservoir cavity, you can grab the end of the coat hanger with your fingers or needle nose pliers and feed it out under the bottom of the cavity near the under hood fuse box. There's a nut on top of the left shock tower that holds the compartment down; remove it and it will make it easier. Removing the left knee bolster to install the switch was more difficult to do but I don't really remember that procedure. Good luck.
