Projector Fog Lights for E90

kociol80 · 11-03-2009, 11:10 PM

I have question, will projector fog lights will create better vision on the road over regular oem fog lights. The projector fog lights are still going to use original bulb, but they have that round kind of glass just like xenon headlight. I'm going to buy new bulbs with blue tint, so they match the xenon headlights and look better.

This the link for projector fog lights:

I have those bulbs w/o the projectors, I think going with an actual hid kit would be way better than those bulbs. they aren't exactly what I was expecting as far as matching the headlights.

Thanks for info, where can i get HID fog lights for e90?

kociol80 · 11-04-2009, 12:09 AM

Does anybody have got the fog lights with HID on theirs e90s? If you guys do, where did you get it from?

why do we need projector fog lights? i thought the fog lights are so low even if we stick an HID kit in it would be blinding others??

The projectors should give you the clean top line that you get with the xenon headlights. I guess its personal preference, but I always thought fog lights were supposed to spread the light out and down, and it seems projectors might impeed that. However, if you have a HID conversion in there the projectors might be the way to go to keep from blinding other drivers. I would do the yellow 3000K fog bulb though which puts out more light.

Very well said. Projectors offer a cut off that a reflector based housing cannot achieve. This is ideal for an HID setup but helps if you have a halogen bulb as well to prevent glare.

Is the foglight for E90 and E92 the same?

SV Concepts III · 11-11-2009, 03:13 PM

No they are two different part numbers for the factory bumper.

BRAISKI · 11-11-2009, 03:32 PM

Oh ok, how about the 92 M-Package front bumper will it be the same?

The reason I am asking is that I am getting the 335xi Coupe (M-Package) next year and I want to start getting some stuff to be ready.

Jaybreeze · 11-11-2009, 04:35 PM

there are a ton of people running HID fogs around here. me included... i actually just did a post on a 335i that just had 3000k hid fogs installed in it...

PM me if you are looking for more information... HID is way better then color match bulbs

Do you have a projector fog for the E92 with M bumper?

SV Concepts III · 11-27-2009, 10:05 AM

We don't offer them yet, just the standard fogs.
