What is this button?

I have a 2004 Mini Cooper S and there is a button by my left knew when I'm behind the wheel that I can't figure out what it does. I'm also missing the center **** that goes to the navigation, if anyone has one laying around.

It sounds like you are referring to the switch for the driving lights. Does it look like this?>

Yep, I persist and nothing happens. I also have 2 other switches in my toggle row and can get one to work but the other I have no clue what it does. I feel like an idiot.

Are the buttons shown above by Drul for the Gen1 or the Gen2?

I don't have any running lights installed, I guess the PO took them off. That's cool though cause I wanted to get a light bar anyways. Now there's 2 toggle switches for what looks like lights in the center, one is for the fog lights, what's the other for?

JAB 67 - Those button pictures about with the trim is for Gen 2 2007 R56 + MINI.

The button to the left on Gen 1 R50 R52 R53 models is part of the factory Driving Light Retrofit kit or Rally lights.




Driving Lights Retrofit Kit - Chrome Part number 63120144132

http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Site...4132/ES172090/




Its own part number #3 in the above diagram. Light Button Part number 63120144134

http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Site...4134/ES172092/




You can see its location usually mounted. See it on the left on the lower knee panel on the driver side.




-------------------------------------

Here is the full toggle bank . with DSC. There is ASC in place of DSC if you have that option.



Window left : DSC : Door Lock : Rear fog Light : Front Fog Light : Window Right


Thanks and hope that helps.
