Fog lights on a M3 bumper?

Hello,

I am considering purchasing a M3 style bumper for my 335i from ModBargins

Is there a way to mount the stock fog lights that come on a 335i?

Thanks

they also offer the bumper with fog light covers/holes for your oem fog lights now.

you might want to purchase that instead of trying to retro fit the fog lights in.

If I were to purchase that M3 replica bumper, I would leave out the fog lights. They just don't look right on a M3 bumper.

If you have to have them fog lights, get the one that comes with light housing mounted already (like yooooooo mentioned).

I think I have seen one member who actually retro-fitted a fog light housing on the M3 bumper before, but I don't think those were the OEM housings anyways. Looks like crap to be honest.

Not sure about the **********s bumper, but the one sold with the Fogs installed will not fit any after market lips. The dimensions are off. The e90 M3 bumper sold without the fogs (like from JBspeed) does fit the M3 lips as the dimensions aer the same as the oem bumper.

just something to consider.

Well, a suggestion. (I was going to do this before I got my M3 bumper)

Order M-Tech fog housings and have your body shop retrofit them to whatever bumper. Not too sure if it'll work but it's worth a shot.
