Has anyone installed LED H8 bulbs for the fog lights? Will it generate an error code on the dash? Thanks.

I want to attempt this but not 100% sure I am buying the right bulbs. I would like a more of a WHITE look as well, to match the HID on my headlights, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for this! It befuddles me why you still have to jack up the car to change a bulb!!

But the Bavauto DIY video on youtube had the guy with the car on shop lifts removing the front wheels to access the panels behind the fog lamps and DRL ring bulbs!

Just absurd that BMW designs a car that requires jacking up to change out bulb!

Some DIYs on YouTube say you have to remove the front wheels to change the light bulbs!? Anyone had to do that?

I realize I'm a bit late to the party, but for future reference it is possible to replace the fog light and bulb without removing the wheel or jacking up the car.
