Fog Lights - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

#-JONAS-# · 01-07-2013, 05:41 PM

Can't seem to find a conclusion on what bulbs fit my non m-tech e92 fog lights,
What are the bulbs called H11/H8 or something else?

Another thing, I found these bulbs, but want to know whether they will throw me an error code if I install them, or I need coding done?

H11 12W LED Daylight Bulbs

They will throw error codes and also will not project light. It will only be "visible". As for the bulbs, look it up on sylvania bulb guide

#-JONAS-# · 01-07-2013, 06:19 PM

Will these throw codes at me as well?

MegaWhite Halogen Bulbs, H11 12V 55W

If you have the stock bumper and not the M-Tech, you need H8 bulbs for your fog lights. Best bet is to get a standard bulb or HID kit (55W) if you don't want any problems.

#-JONAS-# · 01-11-2013, 08:31 AM

Will these bulbs work without an HID kit?

GP Thunder H8 - 7500K - 35W

Or would these be better?

I put GP 8500's in my 2011 335i Coupe.
Perfect, no errors. 7500's should do fine
also.

And you did that without an HID conversion kit?

Could you post a picture of them turned on?

Yes. I have them and it's a nice white light. No hid conversion. The pics I took don't really show the difference as it was daytime when I took them. For $12 bucks they're awesome. I wish I would have seen the 55w version and tried them. Mine are 35w.

#-JONAS-# · 01-12-2013, 07:16 AM

Alright, but I'm not really looking for the white light, more like a blue'ish light, like angel eyes?

Not kit. Just the bulbs.

Fog lights are YELLOW.

Hey Spydeputy
You are right, daytime lights are white and fog lights are yellow, so where did you get you're yellow fog lights?
