Im going to install front fog lights on my e36. I understand that the US install is diffeent to the Europe Car install.
Ive purchased the factory harness. Fog light switch and relay. Im looking at the installation instructions and it seems that I might need more hardware.

Has anybody installed fog lights to the front of their car using the factory fog light harness who has a euro version car (non US) ?
Cheers

They way they are installed is exactly the same, in all E36's.

cheers. But i noticed with the factory installation instructions it has some different steps depending if its a Euro or US car.

The part that confuses me is, the harness only goes from the fog lights and connects to the fuse box for the rest of the connections. Does the E36 have a prewired cables from the fusebox to the interiors car foglight switch? Remembering my car is right hand drive. Fuse box is on the left side, interior fog light switch on right side.

i have a 91 320i. I see that there is cables running to the general area of where the fog lights are installed but i have not really had a look yet. At the moment the fog lights are there but arent working. I just bought them from someone in perth so i have no instructions. Would you be able to scan them and post it?
