Rear Fogs/BFD on OLED?

Does anyone know where to find the rear fogs on US-spec CS/GTS cars with OEM OLED tail lights?

And how does brake force display work on US OEM OLED? If at all?

There is a way to make (1) of the blanks to the left of your steering wheel control the rear fog lights. Tommy L. Garage has a DYI video on YouTube…it will walk you through it step by step. BimmerCode & a few tools are needed.

I'm aware of how to modify the car to activate the feature. My question is more asking where the actual lights are located. I've done the button modification and coding and the cluster will show the rear fog lamp is on but nothing lights up in the tail lights. I'm wondering if US spec OLEDs are missing the rear fog lights. Would like some confirmation from an M4CS/GTS owner because the tail lights are unique to these cars.

It's located right beside the backup light, see image below. Using the code to activate the rear for the regular tailights will not work for the OLED cluster, I tried it on my M4cs. OLED have different coding parameters. Almaretto had given me the coding parametrs to activate the OLED rear fogs a while back, I would need to look it up.

They are in FEM and REM. I would have to look them up as well.

You can code REM with ECE Typecode. That should do the trick if hardware/wiring is there.
