No it is not and why do you want your fog lights on all the time, there for when its "foggy". ppl that drive there fog lights on all the time piss me off, you blind every body else on the road.

Blood, I gotta be honest I don't think I've ever been blinded by fog lights. I often drive with mine on during the day with parking lights because my DRLs are disabled.

I am however constantly blinded by idiots who drive with their high beams on when one of their low beams is out. But that's another story. And now we're way off topic.

Well if they arn't blinding then why can you turn them on and off ? And in most country only allowed to use them in fog ?

I want them on. That's that. All i wanted to know here was if there was a way to code the fog button to be activaded even tho the light switch is in position "0" = No lights on at all. Not if it's legal or not.

Def not if you don't have a LM2 module. With an LM2 i doubt there is an option to use fog's as DRL. Since it isn't legal BMW hasn't forseen this as on option .
