Is there a way to have the fog light come on all the time?
My old 2003 530i would stay on all the time.
Thanks,
Robert

I like to drive with my fog lights on all the time. The simplest way I've found is to leave the headlight switch on auto and when I start the car to drive, I hit the fog light switch and it turns on both my headlights and fog lights. Chris

hahaha. here we go again, discussion about fog lights.

my opinion is that it looks great with fogs on. but during good weather, it also looks like you are showing off ))

i used to have them on on my e39 all the time. now i am only putting them on during fog or rain (so people don't think i just try to look agressive with fogs on)

Driving with fog lights on when there is no fog is like leaving your penis out when you're done peeing. You may think it's cool, but it's downright obscene.....

I prefer to have angel eyes + fogs during day. This is not for showing off this is a way to get noticed more when someone is changing lanes its more of a possibility he will notice you and not cut you off or god for bid hit your BMW
