Coding FWM to work with fog lights

I am thinking of retrofitting fog lights.
The BMW original accessory installation instructions says I need a new footwell module, as well as coding the new one. That sounds very strange to me, can the old one not just be coded to enable the fog lights?

I ordered the cable recommended in one of the stickies.
Is this something I can do by myself, a complete noob, or should I find a professional?

first of all, its FRM module, not FWM
as far as I know, all FRM modules support foglights, all u need to do is add a new # to VO, and then maybe code the foglight function.
The coding part is easy, not sure about the hardware mount tho.. I`ve never hooked anything up the original wires myself

Is it not a Footwell Module? FWL. Well whatever

I think the hardware should be easy enough. So if the coding is easy as well I will order the parts needed and have a go at it. Thanks! This was exactly what I wanted to hear.

Not all FRMs support fog lights, if you have LOW version then you are not able to code fogs.
