He has both wires in pin location 1 inner. Needs to be coded still. This is how it works when coded for Euro tails but not coded for the switch. My car is going in for an oil change today. The same shop that installed my tails is going to check if I have the fog wire. Fingers crossed. I ordered the switch from Latvia and who knows when it will arrive. If I do have the wires, I will pop it in and have Vic code it. If I don't, I will have a switch for sale that is for a G30 without front fogs (M550) and without night vision. It's not worth running two new wires from the BDC, but you never know, the shop today might give me a reasonable quote. The irony here is, I know how to do ALL this stuff myself, but it is easier and more time efficient to have my shop do it. They charged me only $300 to install the tails and run new 5th wires from the BDC.
