Questions on installation of BMW MRoadster/MCoupe Foglight Kit



I had the #63 17 0 008 734 kit installed on my 2000 MRoadster, Prod 11/1999.  
Everything works fine except the instrument pod foglight pictogram doesn't 
work.  The instructions say nothing about it.  

I had my current neighborhood dealer take a look at it.  They pulled the pod, 
saw there was no bulb in the foglight pictogram socket, and put in a bulb.  
Still no operation.  They said they could get it to work after 3 hours of 
labor.......the same amount that I paid another dealer to have the whole kit 
installed.

Tried the BMW NA customer service line to try and get an answer from BMW NA's 
"Product and Service Engineering Dept."  But no go.  No one is allowed to 
talk to these folks.  BMW is such a customer friendly company!!!!

So.....my last resort is to get the installing dealer service manager 50 
miles away from me, to call into the Tech Support hotline to get an answer.  
I would like the pictogram to work and I would have thought that a BMW 
designed kit would have thought of that issue. I think that the installation 
should have also gotten this part of the system to work also.

Any body out there have this kit installed on their 2000 MRoadster or MCoupe? 
 Does your foglight pictogram work??

Anybody out there know of an Z3/MRoadster/MCoupe digest that I can float this 
question to?
