i would like to know too. I have a 91' 318is also but i don't know the production date off hand. I'm thinkin it was 4/90 though if i remember right.

[B2ThaZiZza]

i think there is a sticker on your driverside door jam next to the doorlock clasp or whatever it is

I would think you could just jack your car up and look behind the valance for the wiring. It has a blue connector at the end.

Ok since I have done this mod I can help. WOOT.

Ok, I believe all the 318is that didn't come with fogs are pre-wired for them. You probably can't find the fog light harness by just looking.

1. Take off the knee bolster and take off the driver side speaker cover.

2. Look near the left corner there should be a shitload of wires that are all taped up together.

3. There should be on that is loose, I looked at it for awhile and than I ripped off the electric tape that was covering it.

So yea it was hiding let me know if you need help finding it.

-or-

If you want to see if you are pre-wired an easier way....

Open your hood. Look by your head lights there should be (one on each side) a little plug that isn't plugged in which is for the fogs.

Parts needed:

K8 Relay (junkyard)
Fog Light Switch (junkyard)
Fog Lights
(maybe the bolts needed for the fogs...)

Tools:
8mm socket
Philips Screwdriver
(I think that is it)

Ok well i found the harnesses but ive got one question are they supposed to have 2 holes in them or are these something else? Also they are grey and tj says they are supposed to be blue.

[Digitalwave]

Well they are blue on my car but they might not be the same on every car. It should have 2 progs and somewhat of an odd shape, like half oval connections.

[B2ThaZiZza]

ok cool it does have a wierd shape and it has two prongs so i guess im good to go on installing my fogs. now i just need a relay and to find the harness that plugs into the foglight switch.

[jajou318]

The harnesses you found were the ones for the actual foglights themselves right? If you really want I can check my colors...but if they weren't connected to anything than most likely they are for the fogs.

When you look for the harness for the switch look very hard. Should be on the left taped to a bundle of wires (that is why I didn't find it the first couple times I was looking)

Good luck,
Tony
