R55 Pictures of Clubman with REAR Fog Light
#51
I wonder if you could just add the toggle to have the complete "look" without an empty space. Anyone know if there's just the toggle switch as a part?
I remember on my '75 Rabbit there was a big empty hole with a black cap on it where some optional switch should have been. I took the "Emergency Pull" switch off an IBM 360/40 mainframe front panel and mounted it in place of that ugly black cap. It didn't serve any purpose, but it was very reassurring to have an "Emergency Pull" switch just in case I needed it!

On the clubman configurator, the only picture that shows is the left tail which is where the fog light is.

I did that to my current MINI.
They don't sell JUST the toggle....but generally people will start buying full toggle banks and then selling off the toggles in the classifieds for people who are looking to fill in empty spots.

Notice the license plate on the Clubman, I wonder if an American plate can fit in the same area? Problematic??

The US clubmans come with US plate brackets for that area.
As can be seen here:

I looked into this...

Here is the thread I started. Had a link to some great instructions. I did confirm that the lamp holder IS in the left side taillight assy. Just a matter of ordering the switch assy, installing it and then having the dealer reprogram the damn car to tell it that the switch is now there.
Although I have been way too busy to attack this job yet.
My E30 and tii were just a matter of wires and switches. No programming needed. The E46...yep, trip to the dealer. Still haven't done that one either.

I could have used one this morning. A girl in a mid-90s Honda Accord was very impatient as I passing someone while doing 77 MPH. Apparently, 12 MPH over the legal limit wasn't fast enough for her. Flipping on a fog light would have spooked her a bit, considering how close she was to my bumper.

Using the photo from bdr127's earlier post, I'm wondering if I can fit some sort of lights in the grille-type panels above the tailpipes to provide extra illumination when in reverse. You could probably tap into the reverse circut on the right side, pull a hot line from the battery, and relay the circut to prevent overload.
This all looks good on paper, heck, I don't even have the car yet...but it's finally on it's way! I can't wait to get tinkering!

Update?
Have you had a chance to perform the retrofit with the rear fog?

Hi! XL Mini
I see you have a Sparkling Silver Clubman with Hot Chocolate Lounge Leather interior...is that true? Do you have photos inside/outside that you can post?
I am anxiously awaiting my 2009 Sparkling Silver, Hot Chocolate Lounge Leather Clubman...Should have it by the end of next week!
Thanks Much
