2018 Alpina B7 Coding Question

Is it possible to have the fog lights on with the daytime running lights as well as with the high beams and parking lights-in other-words always on day and night?

apologies in advance, a rant coming up here!

not sure why you would want to to be honest. Clue in the name and that these are intended for fog. they are a low and wide beam designed to light up the kerbs and road markings and not reflect back in your face via the
water droplets.

I don't see they offer any advantage to visibility other than under those conditions. In fact in wet conditins the light just bounces off the road and potentially causes glare.
in the U.K. strictly speaking they should be used only when visibility drops to below 100m

Ok said my piece!

What i wil say though is , nice car. don't see many around at all.
