Any recommendations for LED Fog lights - M TECH E90
I've just about 95% Completion for M Tech front retrofit. Fitment was great, loving the new look and boom car says fog light malfunction on the dash. Then it hit me that I totally forgot that I needed new 9007/HB4 Bulbs. Hahaha
Long story short - I need to see some examples for Led fogs (HIDs input is welcomed as well). Any suggestions?

Zdatt 12,000 lumen set is quite powerful.... $35ish, amazon. Comes with gimmicky looking color filter caps if you want to go yellow or purplish blue also.
No codes, does flicker on engine start for a couple seconds though. Reuse gaskets from Halogen instead of supplied ones for proper fitment. Lighting output sufficient for night driving with headlights off, also helps light up signs and stuff that falls outside of the HID cutoff. PS wont fit Angel Eyes though, alas (which is where I initially planned to stick em) due to heatsink design Last edited by Adieu; 01-26-2018 at 03:03 AM.. |

Where the LED are placed and how they portray light outward or towards the reflectors in the housing makes all the difference. Often people shop by price and blindly buy the cheapest LED that has the same bulb type and that is a majority, if not all the issue. Anyway, the HPB LED Fog Light kit we sell is specifically made for applications such as fog lights and headlights. The LED are spaced and pointed in a way similar to a stock halogen to allow the housing to reflect a maximum amount of the light outward and even, just like a factory bulb would with minimal glare. When it warms up, I'll likely switch to LED Fog lights in my BMW, I've already done it on my corvette and they are Awesome! |

I had ordered the pair of HPB from top gear solutions. Haven't had a chance to install them as yet because of weather here in the north east. I shall post pics once installation is complete.

Update with pics:
They are super bright! Way better than I expected and might be over the top. First picture shows Low beams only and second pic Both Fogs and low beams. The Color temp is a lot more blue-ish than what an iPhone could capture it seems. (I'll play around with my actual DSLR later) If anyone wants an actual pick showing the car I could do that. I figured the back yard pics would do more to show the unit's lightspread. I'm extremely happy with them. I will go back in to get the angle on the driver's side better. Slight issues I had which are not to be blamed on the leds. The fog light housings aren't OEM; they were supplied with the bumper for the retrofit. Cutting a few tabs to the grooves that the leds/bulbs should fit in. Also the connection point to original factory connectors wouldn't work. I suspect this due to the connectors of sport and non-sport cars are different. The error cancellers that I purchased with the kit saved me with that headache. On to pics! Thanks Again Jeff@TopGearSolutions E90 is happy again with no little triangle in the cluster!

This look extremely obnoxious. Is that how much glare there actually is in real life?

Very true! I have a hard time understanding how some people can be so inconsiderate to drive around with obnoxious lights.

Guessing the pictures are reversed from what you stated? Are those the standard output 4,500 lumen or upgraded 6,000 lumen? |
