Led Fog Lights
I didn't find anything where anybody has tried these bulbs. If anybody has, do they throw any codes and how well do they match the factory xenons?

I was looking into LED fog lights, but I ended up getting nokya hyper yellow's instead. Love them and much cheaper.

What about the piaa led bulbs? I'm looking just to match to the headlight color and if i don't find the led's I'm just going to get the halogens that closely match.

what's your question? LEDs will throw codes... unless they say "can-bus" or some marketing stuff.
halogens won't throw codes but won't be that white

I have these in the fogs, they look great. They match well. You just need to code out the bulb check for no errors.

I am really digging that setup - what are you using for the fogs and AE? Great color/temp and brightness!

Those look really good!
I used the WeissLicht LED foglight bulbs on my E92. No errors of any kind. No coding needed. Simple plug and play. https://bimmian.com/Accessories-for-...g-Light-Bulbs/ ![]()

lol
I replied to the thread about the Philips Xtreme Vision Fogs saying I have them. So to clarify, the fogs are PHILIPS and the corona rings (angel eyes) are HPB

I'll second that; pulled my LED replacements out after only two weeks, back with 6K HIDs. I did keep the LED flood lights and they are telling me the system did not like the change out. Can anyone point me to a " code out" link? 2007 335I Coupe

It still needs to be an Canbus HID kit to work in the fogs. That's what I run. 4300K to match the OEM Low Beam Xenon. How many of you are really interested in a designated LED Fog Light option with high output? I can do some testing with HPB on my car to determine what would be the brightest and error free solution if there is enough interest. Last edited by Jeff@TopGearSolutions; 10-21-2016 at 12:07 PM.. |

I also have the Weisslicht bulbs mentioned above. They look a little different from each other in this pic because I have a new passenger side fog light housing and I need to polish up the lens on the original driver side one. No codes, but they gave this little flickering from a CANbus bulb test sequence when starting the car. I had that bulb test coded out.
