After researching this forum extensively, I have been unable to determine what the best fogs for HID are... Here is what I want to do:
Right now I have one fog which is missing (I hit a big rock) and I need to get a new one. I wish to upgrade to HID soon, but that is probably a few months off. I am hoping to stick to something that is close to stock, so that I can go with normal lights for now and then upgrade it without buying new fogs.
Is it possible to get OEM fogs and then upgrade them to HID? ...or do they have to be projectors?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help! __________________ Silver 98 318ti Standard trans, Sport Package: 16" Stock Wheels, Foglamps, Sunroof, Heated Leather Seats, Bilstein performance shocks, OEM Sach's clutch kit, Dunlop SP Sport A2 225/50/16 tires, Alpine CDA 7894, Dual Rockford Fosgate 12" subs, Rockford Fosgate Amp, Leather Armrest, Replaced M44 engine with only 40k on it!

I have OEM fogs with HID headlights. My plan is to put whiter bulbs in my fogs, to make them color matched. Not worth the cost and effort to put HIDs in foglights.

You can order the BMW or DDM Tuning OEM reps one. Both of them come with glass lenses. You will have to retrofit the HID bulbs to make them fit. Plenty of diy threads on bfc. | | | | | 04-23-2008, 12:14 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: G-dale, California Posts: 1,698 |
