Hi Guys!
We just pulled the trigger on a 2014 E84 and I converted our past BMW's to utilize the rear fog lights. Those were done with replacing the light switch itself, since like others have said, I'm also OCD and prefer the "complete" look of a lighted button. The switch for the 2007 E92 was available here in the US but the one for the 2009 E90 was not. Fortunately, we picked it up at the local BMW dealer in Munich when we did ED.
Before trading in the E90, I'm figuring on putting back the original switch and using the rear fog enabled switch in the 2014 E84, since it will match the chrome trim on the dial. I'm anticipating that it won't throw any fault codes but thanks to the OP for a detailed DIY to convert the existing switch if need be. I already have a set of plastic trim tools from when I did the first conversion so accessing the switch should not be an issue.
Appropriate use of rear fog lights in low visibility driving conditions is a valuable safety feature but I do agree that it can be annoying when those that haven't a clue what they're used for, have them on at the wrong times.
Happy New Year to all!
