E36 Euro headlight switch?

[Mitch]

Hey everyone, does this switch exist? My headlight switch felt like it broke this morning and would like to get a headlight switch that would allow me to run headlights, fogs and high beams at the same time. Thoughts?

The cars wiring prevents that not the switch I believe. I guess it 'could' be the switch but I have not done a ton of research on that front. No real interest.

It does exist but the difference is extra fog light switch. This controls the 'rear fogs' which illuminates a bulb we don't have. In Europe you can turn on a rear fog to help cars behind you see you. You always see Audi's with what looks like their bright ass brake lights on? Well they accidentally turned the rear fog on.

You can change the BMW wiring to allow this but to be honest it is a waste of time. The fogs don't really do anything except provide a look for an e36. The low beams out do them and if you switch on the highs you might as well just let the fogs turn off.

With the HID fogs they do go out 'wider' than the OEM Halogen bulbs. It is a cool look but provides no real lighting performance benefit.

Exactly what I needed to know, thanks Hal!

+1. The Euro switch does exist, it's about $24, and the only difference is that it activates your rear foglights. You have to install bulbs too, but all the wiring is already there.
As for running the front fogs in conjunction w/ high-beams, I'm thinking that might require some voodoo or possibly kung-fu ninja magic.

Well the proper way to do it would be to bypass the relays that in there already and wire a new relay to the fogs. This would be outside the OEM lighting wiring and thus the fogs would stay on.

It wouldn't be hard. Just a waste of time I would say personally.

Or a basic understanding of wiring....

Some guy on bf.c had his E30 set up so his high beams, low beams, and fogs were all independent of each other. Guess it is a little cool, but not really worth it. I would maybe do it so I could run with my fogs on without anything else, dunno why.

e36 you just do the parking light delete you can run fogs only.

Are we talking about the same thing?

My front corners are not on when just the headlights are on. They only come on to blink when the turn signal is activated.
