Rear fog light wiring question
Have 05 justa . My mini is already pre-wired for a rear fog light but I don't have a switch in the panel for it . Can someone give me advice on what to do . Is it possible to wire it in so it will come on with my front fogs ?
Any advice , tips or tricks would be great .
Thanks .

The basic steps are:
- Install the rear fog lamp, and plug in the pre-wiring.
- Swap your toggle panel with one that has a full set of switches. Shop for a used panel on eBay, or new one costs about $160 (http://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2005-C...itch/ES167631/).
- Have a dealer activate it on the computer.

sure. just run a wire! ive done lots of that type of wiring to my mini. Your biggest concern will be whether you want to run it on the inside or outside of the car; should be a pita regardless, so dont worry
ive hard wired the rear fog to come on with regular lights, same with the front fogs. i dont even use the switches anymore.
fwiw, you may want to consider swapping that rear fog Bulb to an LED. mine was getting very hot with continual usage; alarmingly hot actually.

Cool . As much as I would love to do it right and get the new toggle bank but $250 + dealer fee to reprogram it just to have a rear fog is a lot to pay . I'll look into running a wire from the back to the front and piggyback off my front fogs so when I hit the switch the rear will come on to.
