Fogs to match mtec v3 AE??

Looking for fog lights to match my mtec v3 angel eyes. Also, I don\'t want them to throw error codes like my current HID setup. :

Will be going on a E90 330.
Anyone have any recommendations?

GP Thunder 7500k is a very good match.

Just installed my v3's and love them. Looking into getting the GP Thunders. Are they just PnP bulbs?

Yes, GP Thunders are PnP. Fairly easy to replace.

I should be getting my V3s any day now. Can you post pics of how your lights look now? I've seen a couple of other pics on here.

Yeah, I'll try to get some decent pictures. Honestly they are fantastic. Extremely bright; They are visible in day, but not really in direct sunlight. Once the sun starts setting though, they are stunning.

As you can see in the night picture, an iPhone 4S (which has an impressive camera) can't even pick up the rings because they are so bright.
And the other one is during in the day, but not in direct sunlight (with some added effects)

Csquared,

Which foglights did you end up going with? I installed the mtec v3 today. Upon everyones consideration i went with the GP Thunder 7500k bulbs. However, I wasnt impressed with the matchup. The GP Thunder bulbs were not as bright and the color was off.
