Fog Lights Project

doba_s · 02-01-2008, 01:01 AM

I like having fog lights on my car ... IMO i don't think stock bulbs are bright enough ... as many of you , I upgraded to 6000k HID kit. Big improvement, but my car was not very happy with it ... haha ... well, I decided to take it to the next step and install projectors , so the fog lights can match my headlights. I used all OEM BMW parts and seams like it worked out good . I just finished sealing it and decided to post some pics ...

Check post 25 for some new pictures

here you go ...

I don't have any pics with them on my car yet ... I will post it as soon as the weather will get better ... too cold to work on my car now ...

I was just thinking about this yesterday..looks good! What projectors did you use? W/o the projectors, was the light not enough or did you stick the projectors in b/c you wanted a match w/the headlights? What about alignment?

you need to open your fogs, get oem bmw projectors, measure the size of the metal frame to fit it right, cut the rest, seal it back ...
