Euro LCI Tail Light Funtionality

Is it possible to have one of our Euro members upload a video of the Euro LCI tail light funtionality?

Headlight in Position 0ff/Auto/On with braking, signalling, fog light, welcome light etc.

I am particularly looking to see how the tail lights behave when the fog lights are selected on. Do both the inner and outer tail lights illuminate when braking?

Thanks in advance.

I've cross posted this to the F90 forum as well.

I haven稚 actually seen this but I would assume the brake lights do not change their behaviour when the fog light is on. Why illuminate less lights when braking in fog?

I am in the same boat with my Euro tails. When my fogs are on and I brake, only the outers illuminate ( think it's just the outers and not just the inners, it has been a while). When I turn the fog off, they work as they should with all four lighting up.

I NEVER use my fogs, so I kind of dismissed it. I could have had my coder look at it, but honestly it would have meant a night in the garage connected remotely for an issue I would never encounter.

I am curuous and encouraged I am not the only one. Following.

Not a video but to my surprise by parking against a large glass window confirm that only the outer brake lights work as opposed to inner and outer when the fog light is on
