Foglights. Lightening options?

lux.sh · 09-24-2005, 04:34 PM

So to match our beautiful adaptive xenon headlights, I think
we need "prettier" color output from the foglights..

maybe more yellowish like lexus style or completely white/blue hue
like HID style.

is there such thing available for our e90's foglights yet?

I replaced my fog light bulbs with PIAA extreme white plus bulbs. Definately brighter.

I used to have a HID kit for my fog lamps in my previous e46. Im sure you can do this mod on the e90 too. Find out the kind of fitment on the foglights and contact either jlevistreetwerks or umnitza. Im sure they'll help you out. PS. If you do go through with getting hids, be sure to get them in 4300k color so it will match your low beams.

This may be a dumb question, but do the low beams and high beams burn at the same kelvin.....ie same color output?

I was looking at your pics and I was wondering is that third foglight looking thing in the central air dam for active cruise?

Yep. That's for the active cruise.

The low beams and high beams burn at the same kelvin. When you turn your high beams on, a lid/cover opens up to reveal more light output.

I'll buy ION Yellow bulbs again, I had them on my last car and I really liked them.

how do they match the low beams?

krndanic307 · 10-08-2005, 12:39 PM

I think this is a dumb question... But do you need to take out the front bumper to change the fog lights? if you do...can anyone help me?

It's been done before without removing bumper. Check out post #10 in this thread. Good luck.
