The rear fog lights do double duty as the brake force display lights (in North America, they come on solid instead of flashing).

Yep, you're right. I read up on the documentation. It's strange that my car was factory coded as "LED" for the brake force lights when it's clearly halogen. I did some testing with my wife driving to get the brake force bulbs to light up. In the end, decided to run LED for regular brake lights but halogen for brake force. The slight delay for the brake force halogens to light up fully draws additional attention compared to running full LED. Almost as if the brake lights are lit two times in succession instead of one. I guess the reverse of how it worked on my Z4 where regular brakes are halogen but brake force were factory LED.
