M-Sport Front Fog

shane732 · 06-10-2009, 05:29 AM

I have a 3 Series M-Sport.

I'm currently looking at ungrading the front fogs. The colour of them is awful incomparision to the Xenon parks, dims and heads.

How do I go about upgrading them? Is it literally just putting a different bulb in?! Sorry of the stupid question but I'm a new E90 owner!

What type of bulbs should I go for and where can I get them?

Thank you in advance.

It's a 9006 bulb. For me, all I had to do was turn the steering wheel all the way one direction (doesnt matter which). Then take off one 8mm screw on each side of the fender liner. Then I was able to pull the fender liner back and reach my hand in there to remove the foglight bulb.

Thanks for the help. You mean the stock bulb is a 9006? What bulb show I be putting in to improve the colour

I'll post some picture of the lights are they are when I get a chance.

you need 9006 bulb type, super white should be perfect matching, m tech bumpers need mtec bulbs

cstmx_ryder · 06-10-2009, 10:08 AM

I'm running Luminics Krypton Series, 5150K. The brightness is deifinitely there, but I wish the color is more white with a blue hue, like my 8000K xenons.

I think if you have the stock xenons, then the Luminics 5150K bulbs would be a fairly close match. Or you can try the Mtec bulbs which comes in 4350K or something like that.

E92 have you got any of the 9006 bulbs? Do you ship internationally?

Are those the bulbs I'm looking for?

1clean335i · 06-10-2009, 01:08 PM

I just went with yellow bulbs b/c I didnt want to go through a dozen different super white bulbs trying to get them to match the headlight bulbs.

shane732 · 06-10-2009, 02:59 PM

I've attached some pictures of my current lights.

I'm going to go with the lights E92 has recommended.

Is there anything else I could do to have the heads, parks etc looking better?

Cheers for all the help, this forum rules!

Ok I've been talking E92 about getting the lights I need shipped to me.

I've a few more questions, excuse the stupid questions!

What the hell is the difference between all the different freaking types of angel eyes? For example the angel eyes I'm going to are RD angel eyes for E92 but what are Lux lights?!

What's the best set up? My stock lights are shown above.

Thanks

cstmx_ryder · 06-15-2009, 05:41 PM

Lux is another brand available, it's LED vs. some others are bulbs........IMO, LED>bulbs b/c it uses less power, and is brighter and longer lasting than regular bulbs.

It's not 9006, it's H11

...I upgraded mine to the yellows, not sure if i will keep it - very easy to switch out and my angel eyes are RDs

ETA: unless in Europe it's different, your bumper doesn't look like my M-sport?

One second.... That is a M-Sport bumper on my saloon isn't?!

One quick thing - M-Tech and M-Sport are the same thing right? I think M-Tech is actually is the older version 3 series....
