Electrical 2013 S rear fogs stopped working

Rear fog switch is in the toggle bank under the HVAC controls. It's next to the passenger window switch and is separate from the front fog switch. You should get a "yellow" icon on the speedo face when on. If you installed LED bulbs, expect then to randomly flicker every few seconds due to the bulb check circuit. I did the same LED mod but coded the bulb check "off" using the Carly app.

Just spoke to the mechanic. Without the optional switch as you have there's no programing that can be done. He said its a European thing and on US models the fog lights become a hard braking light.
Too bad. It gets foggy here and would've been nice to have them come on with the front fog light.

I also have a 2013 Cooper S and I got mine working just fine!

I can send you links with more info/files if you want.

I got the toggle switch from Way Motor Works: https://www.waymotorworks.com/used-r...7-r58-r59.html
(link is for a used one, they also sell new. I bought used since it's half price and not noticeably different)
I reference this post for information: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...beginners.html
And this one: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...s-you-can.html
I got a cheap cable like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-INPA-K-...pid=1263694158 which works just fine
The reprogramming part didn't take very long, it just involved changing code from "nicht_aktiv" to "aktiv" lol
To get the toggle panel out, I just wedged a flathead screwdriver under each corner and shimmied my way across...not exactly elegant, but it worked
Sorry for the info dump! I don't have the time right now to explain properly, but I figured that this would be way better than nothing!
