(feeler closed, discussion open) Euro LCM Faceplates

[JupiterBMW]

Recently, I posted a couple of little projects I've been working on, one of which being the rear fog mod. When this was posted, many of you inquired about getting the Euro faceplate so you too could enable this option. Simply put, this Euro faceplate and some quick coding is all that's needed for the rear foglight mod.

So, this thread is for you to post if you would for sure be interested. I have already sourced a few of these, and I have a good connection with a parts yard in the UK, so I can potentially get more. I am unsure of pricing yet, but I'd like to gauge interest and then I will post again with just how many faceplates I can get.

So, if you're interested, post up and let me know which of the two following models you would like to have (the difference being that one has the 'auto' lights position, and one does not).

Once I get an idea of how many are wanted, I'll see what I can do. Hoping to connect my fellow Mafiosos with a fairly cheap and easy mod!

1. Euro LCM with 'auto' light option.


2. Euro LCM without 'auto' light option.

This doesn't apply to Coupes right, Jon?

Yes, as far as I know, it applies to all cars. I do not have a coupe at my disposal to verify this though, and therefore I cannot make any guarantees.

On second though, my neighbor has an E46 vert, perhaps I could ask him to let me mess around on his car. I could throw my faceplate onto his car, code it, and see if it works. If so, then that's that...

I've never met him though, so that could be somewhat awkward. Hahah... "Hi there, my name is Jon. Can I plug my laptop into your car and modify it... after I change some parts out of course?"

Might be interested in a non auto faceplate. Pending cost.

[Lanister]

It would be cool if someone could report on that.

I probably should have given it a go but too late

The reason I'm posting this thread is that I'm going to try and buy in bulk and hopefully save everyone some money. I spent over $100 for my Euro LCM, just to have the faceplate, and if I can order in bulk and get them cheaper than that, I'd like to try and do that.

[JupiterBMW]

I don't think there's a difference.

And something else I should've mentioned. Cost for either one will be the same. Availability will be the tough part.

In for one with auto headlights

Jon,
So is rear fogs kind of like the Volvos back in the 90's where it looked like the rear brake lights were on until they actually hit the brakes and it got even brighter?
