Subject: HID FOG LIGHT INSTALL WITH PICS Author: cleanride740il : member since November, 2004 : 2374 posts Posted on: 2006-09-30 15:19:38

First remove the old H3 bulb and the metal clip that holds it in,now insert the new HID H3 blub and bend the metal tabs that the clip was on down to hold the bulb in,you can use a wire to hold it in but bending the tabs down is good enough.

now cut a hole in the fog light back cover.



nice neat hole.

a little glue around the hole.

fog light ready to go on car.

I removed my front bumper to mount ballast.YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.

driver side ballast mounted .

passenger side ballast mounted.

This bumper surport broke i to stop go to BMW dealler to get part#51118193157&158 the other side was already broke.



HID fogs are now installed.The car now has Pilot 800k fog lights, Pilot 800k low beam head lights,Umnitza preadtor Angel Eyes,Umnitza LED corner bulbs
