(Note: tested on a Pre-LCI car only)
Saw this discussed in a semi-related thread but wanted to start a dedicated one for organizational purposes.
As the title implies the purpose of this mod is to code the amber side markers (turn signals) to the front fog light switch. This assumes you have the side markers already coded off, either because your car came that way from the factory or because you coded them off yourself for aesthetic reasons. The coding in this thread will allow you to keep the side markers off under normal conditions, but gives you the option to reactivate them manually for safety purposes should the need arise (in bad weather perhaps).
First, follow this thread to modify your headlight switch to have a front fog button:

Stop once you get to the coding section of that thread. Rather than doing the coding in that guide to make the angel eyes the front fogs, we're going to use the orange turn signals/side markers instead.
The bimmercode coding for this mod is as follows:
