i'll make it easy for you bud... if you take the binnacle off and look at the three wires on the fog light switch just under the wiper switch (yeah cos u need telling where the fog switch is doh!) ....locate the Red/white wire on the fog switch,this is the switched live from the headlight switch (its used to power the foglight but will do what you are asking as it only becomes live when the headlights are on)

thats another BMW spoiler you owe me :)
