I have the USA edition of Bentley's manual for the E36, It has references to differences with the Canadian models, specificly in the wiring diagrams.
The tailights are relayed to the light switch just like the high and low beams.
My question is Where are the left and right tailight relays housed at ??
Or Where can I find this information? Canadian or for export BMW E36.

What year/model is your E36?

BMW calls the wiring diagram the ETM
http://wedophones.com/BMWManualsLead.htm

Looking at the 1995 325i ETM, page 284, diagram 6314.0,
the E36 doesn't have a relay for the tail lights.

I have a 1995 320i, that is a 2.0 liter inline six cylinder that was imported to Canada. This car comes equipped with a sealed 5 speed zf automatic transmission like found on the likes of an M3. In the Bentley manual there are references to changes to the wiring for Canadian models only. 95-96 except 318i section of the wiring diagrams. In the Bentley manual ELE-12 Power distribution, and ELE-201 Exterior lights for Canada
