Rear Fog lights in European model 8 series

Would anyone with a Euro spec 8 series be able to check for me when you select the rear fog lights on if only the driver side rear fog illuminate, or do both sides illuminate?
Other series differentiate LHD and RHD in the Newtis wiring diagrams, but the ECE Version for the 8's doesn't make this differentiation.

Thanks in advance!

I'll keep you posted. I'll be running the wire to the rear fog lights from the BDC in the coming days... my wife got the idea we needed wainscoting in our front entrance and stairway, which has slightly delayed my progress🙈. I have the euro tail lights that I'll install after and code at that time. I'll take some pictures and report back on my progress as I go.

sounds complicated for me, I'm just used to switching the light switch and coding. on another note, are the blinkers red or amber?

My car is a Canadian/NA spec M850i and has red turn signals tied to the brake light. I ordered the European taillights which have the separated, amber turn signals. I also ordered the light switch module (European) that has the rear fog light button, which is missing from the NA ones.

... and yes, complicated🙈
