Would it be possible to install the euro headlight switch to pin in fog lights for the top button on the switch and pin in a light bar for the bottom button on the switch? Has anyone done this and be able to tell me the pin location for each?

The switch plugs in there's no pinning required however it won't function unless you were to be able to program your BCM accept the rear fog lamp input and to activate the rear fog lamp controls, and then you could wire in your light bar relay to the body control module.

Sounds like a bit more work than I want to take on. Thank you very much for this information.

Yeah, it's definitely some work. The switch isn't a "switch" like most people think.

I have this installed in my 2014 LT. The front fog lights dash light toggles, so that will work. I actually have a rear laser fog light installed and hoped to use the rear switch to operate it, but like you, cannot figure out how to do it. Somewhere on the forum, there is a thread that shows how someone brute forced it to work, but I have been looking on and off all day for it. I cannot find it.

For others looking, these two links will help in installing the fronts:

What kind of electrical terminal? (for fog lights)

For those who have installed the factory fog light kit, when plugging the wire that goes into the fuse box what tupe of connector is used? I mean I know it's not a connector but more like a terminal correct? The thing is that I have a non oem kit and have decided to install it the same way you...

Eco Cruze Fog Light Install--Warning: Lots of pics!!

Go back to COMG- The Cruze Owner's Maintenance Guide I wanted to properly document how I did the installation of fog lights on my Cruze. Please understand that this is NOT a "how to" thread, and if you decide to follow these steps you are doing so at your own risk. By that I mean you risk...

The issue is that the rear fog lamp switch and the fog lamp switch are the same switch, it's just a different voltage signal to the BCM based on what half of switch is pressed. That voltage signal then is utilized by the BCM to either activate an output to control the front fog relay or the rest fog relay. North American cars don't have the circuits from the BCM to the relay center, nor do they have the circuits in the fuse block to support the rear fog relay as far as I recall. Programming the BCM to properly acknowledge and then act on the signal it would receive from the euro switch is the "hard" part.

Ok follow up question. If I had a non fog light Cruze and bought an aftermarket fog light kit and pinned it to the fog light fuse and pulled a junkyard Cruze headlight switch with fog light functionality. I could just plug that junkyard switch into mine without reprogramming the BCM right?

"IF" ? Is that a hypothetically "if," or a your car doesn't have fog lights like the one in your Avatar?

My 2011 Cruze does not have fog lights, but I watched this YouTube video showing a guy pinning a fog light kit to the correct location on the fuse box essentially making the cabin headlight switch plug n play with the fog light functionality. I assume this would be the same with an aftermarket fog light kit as long as you can pin it to the correct fog light location on the fuse box.

Yes this would work. My 2014 the BCM worked without requiring programming for the add on fog lights. I used an aftermarket fog light kit with the OEM switch. Just need to find out which pin to connect to in the underhood fuse/relay box.

It's not a straight forward answer. GM changed the BCM programming levels and harnesses on cars from year to year some cars have the programming for front fog lights and just need a switch and underhood wiring. Others require programming. If you get a GM fog light switch, and plug it in to your car, then press the fog lamp button and it turns on the fog indicator on dash and activates your parking lights your good to go. If when you plug in a fog equipped headlamp switch nothing happens your best bet is gonna be to go full aftermarket.
