yeah i saw that the other day and was intrigued because my base model doesnt have them. Make it look weird. How was the installation? Did it have instructions with it? I assume the quality is decent, my old e36 had those same fogs but with the stock harness.

Yea i have a base model too, I hated the look of no fog lights so i just decided to put them on. Yea there's instructions but they aren't specific to the Ti. Well there's a picture that helps but it isn't the Ti dash. But it's easy it took me a couple of days because i didn't know what i was doing. But if you do get them I can help you out.:biggrin:

Actually I'm looking for the factory stuff, the ones on ebay look aftermarket. At one time I think BavAuto had the kit. Not big on ganking the original wiring this almost always leads to problems.
Might consider elchicano318ti's setup, to me it just looks horrible without fogs

negative the wiring

I was thinking about that BavAuto kit, i'd seen it before. They do still have it for $180. You ahve to search under another car though, doesnt show up under ti. I found it under 1997 328i in the fog light section.

elchicano 02-28-2008 03:35 AM

Yea that's why it took me so long to install my fogs, i wanted to make sure i didn't want my wiring to mess anything up. So far its still good, knock on wood. If you just want the wiring i think you can find it too and just go with the stock fogs. IMO i didn't like the stock so i went with the smoked fogs.

naustin 02-28-2008 03:38 AM

Yeah the bavauto kit is a little pricey for me. The ebay kit is a much nicer price. The fogs it comes with ARE pretty ugly but i can get over it. Better than the holes in my bumpers.

elchicano 02-28-2008 03:42 AM

If you don't want the fogs then just buy the harness, but you can always tint spray them and I think it will kinda look like mine. Just go to my gallery you'll see my set up of the fogs, i think i have a pic in there with out them.

kcosh 02-28-2008 03:43 AM

Is the harness for the 328 the same as the ti's, also, does it come with the switch and relay?

elchicano 02-28-2008 03:45 AM

yea i believe so like i said my wiring came with a diagram not specific to the Ti. Yea mine did but its always better to make sure with the seller.

aceyx 02-28-2008 06:26 AM

A relay is a relay. The fog switch for the ti factory fogs is specific, but a switch is a switch (I'm using one similar to the ebay for driving lights).

Really, the "harness" is just a bunch of color-coded wires and a few connectors. You should be able to find a generic wiring diagram somewhere on the internet (hint: Hella released one some time ago).
