Hello all.

I installed a set of Xenons on my Series 1 260 today and while I was buggering around with the headlights I noticed another switch on the headlight stem I hadnt taken any notice of before.

Its on the headlight stem next to the headlight switch. It has an off position and two others.

One has a pic of a headlight and the other has a pic of two headlights.

Im assuming one is for fog lights (which dont seem to work). What does the other one do? When I turn it to the second position it brings up a little orange headlight symbol next to the tacho. Does it make it so your high low beams stay on when you turn to high beam?

Just curious is all.

Also what kind of bulbs should I use to replace the fog lights if theyre blown?

Cheers guys.

Second switch should be for foglights. Head lamp has a setting for daylight switch on top of dash to control headlights so they come on by themselves when it gets dark. It should be written on the stalk: first position off, second automatic, third sidelights, fourth headlights.

Got pics of the Xenon lights install?

I can take some if you like. What do you want photos of? The light they put out or the actual install themselves?

Yeah thats it the light with the two lines. So its a rear fog light. I wonder if they put a reverse light in for me. Cheers for that Ill check it out.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
