Default Fog lamps....?

hi all,

I was interested on upgrading my current OEM fogs which are badly pitted and dull....I was wondering if anyone out there have tried out Bavarians projector black fogs part number E36 PROJ FOG. According to there applications is says it will fit a bmw 96 318Ti but along with the part description is also notes that it comes with H7 bulbs which is not what i use with my car...my fogs are H1's did anyone come across this same problem? I ask you all b/c i get no response from them with this issue. Also wanted to know if there was an adapter you can buy to adapt from H7 bulb to H1 plug harness. I know i dont need this to make it work but dont want to jerry rig this!! Thanks!

One would think that the H7 bulbs are compatible with the factory wiring harness for the fog lamps, but I don't own them so I can't tell you. If no one else can tell you, I'm sure you'd get further just giving them a call.

It should use the same connector on the back of the factory fog light.

If you have to reuse the "cap" on the factory fog (which IMHO makes the design stupid), it shouldn't be too difficult to crimp a new connector on the ground wire to fit an H7. A quick trip to RadioShack will solve all.
