If you'd like to skip Screen Shots or Using another Coder, Here's what you'll need to change:

FEM -> 3060 -> NSL_Verbaut (Value= Verbaut)

REM -> 3063 -> Mapping_Nebelschlussl_L_output (Value = nsl_l)

REM -> 3063 -> Mapping_Nebelschlussl_L_function (Value=nebelschlusslicht)

REM -> 3063 -> Mapping_Nebelschlussl_R_output (Value = nsl_r)

REM -> 3063 -> Mapping_Nebelschlussl_R_function (Value = nebelschlusslicht)


Step-By-Step Instructions Using BimmerCode:

- (AT YOUR OWN RISK) I advise you to use a Battery Charger as you will be in accessory mode during these changes.

- (IMPORTANT) Activate Air Plane Mode - Limits any interruptions during this process.

Lets start the coding!

Open up BimmerCode and navigate to “Front Electronic Module” shown on the first screen shot and begin to follow steps after.

(See below Screenshots)

Now that we have finished coding the modules we need to specify which fog lights you would like turned on. Below are steps on activating both Left and Right. If you would like to dedicate one side then choose just the L Output & Function or R Output and Function.
